" Mostrami il tuo cavallo di battaglia". In Italian, this means "show me your battle horse". What does that really mean? It means show me all that you have. Show me your best. When I am in Italy, "Mostrami il tuo di battaglia" is my go to phrase when I meet with new factories. I don't want to waste my time or theirs.
