caption: OCCUPIED FACTORY Lotta alla Pignone, external view: a worker poses next to the tracks for transporting the material. When the owners decided to fire everyone and shut down the plant, work continued in self-management for a long period, from November '53 to January '54, to remove the specter of unemployment for 1,750 workers. The agitation garnered widespread solidarity, and the dispute ended with Eni's acquisition of the foundry decommissioned by Snia Viscosa.
