Palazzo Esposizioni Roma hosts an exhibition entitled Italy at Work, curated by Sara Gumina, using archive video footage and photographs to review the development of the world of work in Italy from the postwar era to the present day.

The images testify to the profound changes that have occurred in the wake of the great technological revolutions, leading not only to the launch of new productive and industrial models and to the creation of new jobs, but also to substantial transformations in the lives of people, in society and in the way work is organised.

The leading players in this story are the workers who, with their enthusiasm, commitment, strength and creativity, have contributed to the worldwide success of “Made in Italy”, thus promoting our country’s development and competitiveness.
