PIETRARSA - The Fiat Lingotto plant has not lost its charm even after 40 years from the stop of the production lines from which mythical cars such as the Balilla and the Topolino came out. The Lanterna, a true colossus and icon of Genoa, welcomes those arriving in the Superba from the sea and has resisted wars and bad weather for five centuries. The Fisogni museum, in a collection certified by the Guinness Book of World Records of petrol pumps and service station objects, houses extraordinary pieces such as the Buckingham Palace pump or the one designed by Marcello Piacentini for Benito Mussolini. And going south, the magic a step away from the sea of the National Railway Museum of Pietrarsa in the Neapolitan area and in Molise, the Marinelli foundry, the oldest in Italy and one of the oldest in the world, specializing in the construction of bells. And then Kartell, Martini,Olivetti and so on and so forth. If the archaeological, historical and architectural heritage of Italy is unparalleled in the world, even in industrial tourism and made in Italy there is an enormous treasure that one hardly realizes.

"I graduated in Geography with the dream of writing a guide on the places of industrial tourism - he tells ANSA Ibello - and in the book I describe Italy through its industrial and Made in Italy productions. for some sectors such as wines and food and wine productions. And therefore space for museums of industrial archeology, historical factories that have been museumized or reused with other functions, museums and business archives and Factory tours from textiles to motoring, from mines to food and wine products ".
The guide also serves to go beyond the clichés of Italy from Piedmont and Lombardy to Sicily, but Ibello does not want to choose symbolic places: "It is a question that I answer with difficulty precisely because of the vastness of the places and companies represented. . But to approach this type of tourism perhaps you have to start from the world of mines which are the places where everything begins because raw materials were extracted there, there are many in many places in Italy and then especially today they are very popular with tourist point of view because transformed into museums, adventure parks etc from Sulcis to those of sulfur in Sicily ".
