For decades, FIAT was the industrial heart of Turin, shaping the lives of entire generations. Today, a world of work that played a crucial role in rebuilding post-war Italy is disappearing.

Gli ultimi operai follows the last employees of FIAT’s Turin plants as they face an uncertain future after years of short-time work. Their experiences reveal how the loss of work reaches far beyond the factory gates, affecting families, life plans and the sense of having a secure place in society.

A look at Wolfsburg and the changes taking place at Volkswagen shows that this transformation does not end at Italy’s borders, but has long since spread across the European automotive industry.

Gli ultimi operai tells the story of the end of a world of work — and of the people who have to live with its consequences.
