4 stars due to a peculiarity. The Italian who signs (probably made in China) provides the product with a handle made of bamboo!!! Yes, if it's possible, with a bamboo handle that breaks before you even use it. However, the actual broom part does an incredible job and is immortal, it doesn't break no matter what, despite rubbing on rough floors or dirt. It sweeps the leaves perfectly, much better than a witch-type broom. Simply, as soon as it comes with the bamboo handle, you remove it and easily replace it with a wooden handle from the paint store, costing around €2. Unscrew two screws and maybe, if you're meticulous, add a little acrylic silicone in the small gap, if there is one, between the handle and the broom where you will attach it together with the screws, and you will have it forever...
