Adriano Olivetti: building a community

During World War II, when he was exiled in Switzerland, Adriano Olivetti wrote L’ordine politico delle comunità, a book that imagines a new, federalist and autonomist organization of the society. What is community according to Olivetti? Community is a part of the territory that can be walked in one day, and that consists of politic participation, services, culture individual and collective wellness. This is what Adriano Olivetti tried to build, fighting against both indifference and hostility, around the factory of Ivrea from the post-war to 1960, when he died. Today, after the socialist and capitalist crisis, that model became topical again. It is to be studied and told. During the event the documentary Città dell’uomo by Andrea De Sica will be projected.
