In the early 1960s, Italy was in the midst of the so-called “economic miracle,” a period of rapid development that profoundly transformed the country from the late 1950s and early onward. High GDP growth, technological modernization, and the spread of mass consumption marked the transition from an agricultural economy to an industrial and urban society. The expansion particularly affected the automotive, steel, and chemical sectors, supported by strong investment and rising employment.
Amidst these transformations, the Ansaldo Shipyard in Sestri Ponente remained a key center for shipbuilding, symbolizing Italy's ability to compete in the construction of large merchant and military vessels. At the same time, in Monza, the Pirelli factory was at the forefront of tire and cable production, reflecting the opening to international market and the central role of Lombardy's industry. These different but complementary realities conveyed the image of a rapidly changing Italy, poised between manufacturing tradition and new global perspectives.
