Giuseppe Fiorentini Filippo Fiorentini

A book written from the heart by Engineer Filippo Fiorentini Junior. To commemorate the life of his father, the text recounts the life of Giuseppe Fiorentini, a man of the 20th Century, a leader of his time, belonging to the great generation of the engineers, who made Italy famous in the mechanical industry. The book describes the life of the company that, born in the tradition of Filippo Fiorentini Senior, becomes one of the principal industries of Rome after World War II. The events of the conflicting relations of the unions and the system of the state-owned enterprises are described by the protagonist. The commentary of that historic period of union politics and the commitment of the state in the strategic industry, while the world was quickly changing, invites the reader to reflect upon the opportunity for the Italian nation to invest in applied technology in an actual moment of global crisis. Engineer Giuseppe Fiorentini is a significant figure which emerges from the testimony of his creative virtues, his sacrifices, his spirit and his entrepreneurial capacity. The narration of the life of the family and the memories, both of his work and of his dearest relationship, makes this book a pleasant reading, including many perspectives and themes in the broad spectrum of his life.
