...this swath of central Tuscany is not bathing in nostalgia. It continues to produce 10% of the world's geothermal power - about 4.8 billion kW-h per year - while one-quarter of the entire Tuscan region's electricity comes from local steam energy production, feeding around a million households. Guido Cappetti, who heads the geothermal division for Enel, Italy's giant energy provider, puts it plainly: "Larderello is like a permanently unexploded volcano." The natural - and unique - abundance of hot liquids at relatively shallow depths provides a steady and frighteningly powerful torrent of steam to the surface. This steam, which...

Now his three sons--Guido, Luca and Paolo--and their sister Emanuela are pushing aggressively into international markets, especially in the U.S., where Guido, 44, attended Boston College...
Barilla built a plant in Ames, Iowa, in 1999 and has grabbed about 17% of the $1 billion U.S. pasta market. The company remains private, but whereas their father was reluctant to bring in outside capital, Guido and his brothers are more open to external finance. Last year, in its biggest transaction to date, Barilla acquired Kamps, a big German bread chain, for $1 billion--bringing in a bank to finance the deal. Randel Carlock, a professor at Insead, says the family "could have just sat in Parma and made pasta. But the younger generation saw the strategic opportunity...
