This book examines the historical process that led to the
foundation of the Italian Republic and its constitution, viewed
through the personal experiences and political reflections of
Adriano Olivetti (between 1919 and 1960), general manager and
president of the well-known typewriter manufacturer "Ing. C.
Olivetti & C." An unbroken line of reasoning linked his
maturing political reflections during the two post-war periods. The
historical context of the 1950s did not prove to be very
propitious, but the guidelines dispersed throughout the Italian
cultural and political world from the movement that Olivetti
founded were certainly seminal - generating a legacy of ideas that
has only in part been recognized. What makes this study distinctive
is the original approach to reading the history of Italy through
Adriano Olivetti's eyes and thoughts, far from the more common
Christian Democratic or Communist perspective of those years. It is
simply another view of what the Italian Republic could be and was
not.
