Storyline

Albo Orlandi was my father.

He was from Gavorrano, in the Maremma area in Tuscany, where he worked as a clerk in the pyrite mine owned by Montecatini, later known as Montedison.

In 1969 he was transferred to Settimo Torinese where he became the Personnel Manager in Farmitalia. Those were the years of the bitter social and political struggles that later led to the Terrorist and Red Brigades season.

In line with his managerial role, he was the one who liaised with the works council in labor disputes and who was in charge of firing and lay-offs – a role which embarrassed me. He abruptly resigned in 1978.
