Industrial history
The birth and development of a modern and state-of-the-art motor industry changed the social and economic face of the Peninsula.
To keep up with an ever increasing motorisation demand, from this moment and for the next few decades, large car manufacturers come out of traditional production poles to open factories in many places around the Peninsula, therefore radically changing those areas with their presence. From Piedmont to the extreme South, the Fabbrica Italia produces the four wheels that make the country and exportations go round.
"After the 60s economic boom, Italy gets motorised and creates cars that are successful everywhere".
