This book is based on the oral life histories of about 70 men and
women workers, born between the end of the last century and 1920,
which are combined with sources such as police reports, documentary
films and judicial documents. The interviewees recount their
visions of life, of history, and of themselves; they call to memory
the fascist period, and the ambivalent relationship between the
Duce and the masses. A picture of resistance emerges, through such
minor episodes as jokes and graffiti, wearing a red tie or
whistling an old socialist tune, and through major issues such as
abortions carried out in direct opposition to state propaganda.
Acquiescence is also recalled, however, in the enrolment of
children in fascist youth organisations or in the use of new
state-controlled social services. The final chapter reconstructs an
event that acquired great symbolic meaning: the eloquent and
unexpected silence of the Fiat workers before Mussolini in 1939 at
the inauguration of the Miraflori factory.
