It's fun to look at the largest companies' balance sheet in your country:

Enel has a lot of hydro power plants installed in Latin America. Of course you won't see that living in Italy.

Well, Enel has a strong presence in Italy, Spain and Latin America. It's actually the second largest power company in the world after China's state company. It was the first company to use smart meters in 2001.

But yeah, you don't see that from Italy.

The most amazing thing that I saw in Italy was when I just went to a random unknown small village there because I didn't feel good on the highway. It was so beautiful with statues and well kept gardens that people don't see by just going to the famous places.

I guess that's because Enel bought Endesa, its Spanish counterpart which already had presence in Latin America.
