Almost every picture on google is from his flickr album.
I'm italian and this press kit is italian, I've posted ads in almost every local forum, ad website and so on but no one has still answered me and I'm almost sure will not.
A friend of mine who's a blogger told me that Ubisoft still has some of them in storage so think about it: usually AC pkits are limited to 200-300, this probably was 50 or less as Italy has much less important people/reviewers/blogger than France and other countries. Let's say 20 were sent and 2 sold after some time. 18 people know perfectly they have a treasure in their hand and most of them will bring it inside their grave, other half will sell it in the next years, 30 more are in a warehouse waiting for an italian guy to create a huge videogame blog and be worthy to receive the treasure. World has 7 billion people and thousands of them dream the Crimson book at night hoping to get their hands on it.
All this just to let you imagine the price that kit will reach next time will be on ebay.
Not to jump in the middle of a bunch of assassin's but have you ever tried contacting Ubisoft italy about the one's in storage?

Obviously they're not going to give them out so easily but I would love to know what they planned to do with them.
