Fiat Mirafiori Strike

“Pietro Perotti, worker at the Fiat Mirafiori plant from 1969 to 1985, was in the communication sector of the factory, creating stickers, murals, writings, drawings, papier-mâché and foam rubber puppets, thus transforming worker processions into a street theater performance. With his Super8 camera, he filmed the strikes that started in 1974. Drawing on previously unpublished material shot by the author-worker, the film builds a portrait of what was Europe’s largest metalworking factory.”

“A worker recounts with his unpublished super8 the workers’ struggles at Fiat Mirafiori, in the 1970s the largest factory in Europe.”

The march of the 40,000, which in 1980 marked the destiny of Fiat and its workers, of the city of Turin and of Italy as a whole, could easily have been stopped, not even started, says Pietro Perotti in the documentary made with Pier Milanese.
