Oops - looks like a bit of a controversial header but watched 'War Factories ' on Yesterday recently. Interesting documentary on how the company played a major role in Italian politics, advancements in technology before WW2, how the management secretly supported the Italian resistance after the fall of Mussolini and their rise post war.

amazing period of history. I know it's slightly off the fiat subject, but I found an interesting piece about the Marshall plan dispelling some lancia myths (that unlike fiat they didn't get funding because of affiliations to the communist party: https://forum.viva-lancia.com/viewtopic.php?t=1266251 )

Also (& even more off the subject) this was a good watch simply to hear someone growing up post war to become a mechanic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIDhfN-Meyc&t=9s
