Factory City - Olivetti Culture (Ivrea)

The Olivetti company had become an institution for the city of Ivrea. A century ago, the company built entire quarters to house its workers and school their children, who even had free orthodontic assistance. The so-called "Olivetti culture" became an example of enlightened industrialism in Italy. Unluckily, the romantic Olivetti image has changed.
