Born five weeks prematurely, eight-week-old Giovanni Grioli was the youngest (and smallest) attendee at the Summit. Accompanied by his proud parents, Joe & Dell Grioli from Dover, DE's Hero Sub & Hobby, Giovanni seemed right at home amongst the tinier trappings of the specialty market, including miniatures, manga, Minimates and more.

When asked for his impressions of the Summit, Giovanni was happy to discuss his formula for success and how well Diamond, Alliance and their suppliers fared.
