Politics

In the Italian town Omegna an unusual industrial center was born in the twentieth century: the so-called “houseware district”. The sister companies like Bialetti, Alessi and Piazza exploited the post-war economic boom and became known worldwide. Following economic crises, generational changes, globalisation, relocations, and the workers’ struggles, the golden years ended drastically leaving an
immense void not only in the abandoned establishments but also in the hearts of the local population.

Attorno alla cittadina piemontese di Omegna, nacque nel Novecento un polo industriale anomalo, che costituì quello che si chiamava “distretto del casalingo”. Le grandi imprese Sorelle Bialetti, Alessi, Lagostina, Girmi, Piazza, Calderoni, attraverso innovazioni e i nuovi canali pubblicitari sfruttarono il boom economico del dopoguerra facendosi conoscere in tutto il mondo. Nacque quindi il marchio: made in Italy. Con la crisi del 1979, i passaggi generazionali, le delocalizzazioni e le lotte operaie, gli anni d’oro si conclusero drasticamente lasciando immensi vuoti negli stabilimenti e nei cuori della popolazione locale.
