"Imperi senza dinastie", the book-interview by Ugo Calzoni with Franco Locatelli on the "extraordinary entrepreneurial adventure of Luigi Lucchini and the Brescian steel industry", published by Compagnia della Stampa, Mazzetti Rodella editors and purchasable in the main bookstores or online (see the Compagnia della Stampa website).
“An unwritten pact – writes Calzoni on the flap of the cover – bound me to Luigi Lucchini. Whoever of us had remained alive would have told the common story, that of the company and the history, all from Brescia, of the men of iron”. And that's exactly what happened.
Precisely the proximity that lasted many years between the former president of Confindustria and his historical assistant allows the author to reveal many unpublished details and to offer original interpretations of decisive facts of the last 50 years of the Lucchini story and of the Italian steel industry and Brescia, of its triumphs and its failures, with an eye to the evolution of the main steel entrepreneurial families, especially at the crucial moment of generational change.
