The musical reference isn't entirely clear, as 'Hero' is also the title of a famous song by Mariah Carey, while 'Heroes' is a song by David Bowie.
Throughout the conversation, Del Vecchio doesn't spare any criticism of the world of high finance and its protagonists. " Most billionaires are idiots, " he states, before discussing his personal assets, specifically the two Italian-flagged yachts he owns. One of them, he explains, is slated for sale, so much so that he addresses his listeners directly: " By the way, if anyone listening wants to make an offer ..." This passage reflects the informal tone of the interview, in which the entrepreneur alternates between irony and personal confessions, without limiting himself to discussing his own assets.

This reflection highlights the contrast between material wealth and the need for emotional closeness. When Fedez asks him why he decided to share such personal aspects publicly, the entrepreneur replies: " No one, but no one is saying so ." He adds: " I'm here to show the other side, the one that no CEO or press office would have advised me to share ." This choice also aims to highlight the lesser-known aspects of his experience, far removed from the public image tied to his surname and family fortune.
