I recall hearing a long time ago a story about the building of the Suez Canal. When they needed a lot of labor for its construction, many Italians were supposedly willing to work for "one guinea" a day and went down there and helped build it. I've never checked the veracity of it but it seems plausible. Hope this helps.
