Imax, known for its giant screens and booming sound, sold nearly $1. 2 billion in tickets last year. That’s huge, even though the overall movie business is
Lorenzo Musetti’s racket speaks before he does—one silky one-hander at a time. But where he swings that racket says everything about where he comes from.
