In this situation '''Giannino Spadoni''', an Italian businessman already commercially connected with Mastro de Paja, became something of a sheet anchor for the beleaguered company. Starting around 1982 he had the highly esteemed design pipe, '''Fiamma di Re''', manufactured by Mastro de Paja. Additionally the Contessa, a favorable bargain pipe, was also made for him. The Fiamma di Re quietly disappeared in 1989. Since 1990 Spadoni has been distributor for [[Dunhill]] in Italy. | In this situation '''Giannino Spadoni''', an Italian businessman already commercially connected with Mastro de Paja, became something of a sheet anchor for the beleaguered company.

Terenzio Cecchini, now exclusive proprietor of Mastro de Paja, sought help and a friend drew his attention to the young sales talent '''Alberto Montini'''. After finishing his studies in 1978, Montini started a career as an accountant and had quickly achieved a position as manager of a prosperous firm for office arrangements. After long and careful negotiations, Montini finally agreed to take over the management of Mastro de Paja in 1985. His entrance proved to be the begining of a new era! | By the end of 1983 the last of the amici had withdrawn.
