L’ultimo operaio dell’Ilva: “Così ho spento il forno”

Fabio Cocco witnessed the last steel casting at Ilva in Taranto on October 8, marking the end of an era for the steelworks. This facility, significant for its economic and emotional impact over sixty years, has been a source of both prosperity and suffering for the community. The closure symbolizes a profound change, as the plant was a major part of the local identity and economy, overshadowing the city itself. The event reflects the culmination of a long history of industrial activity that has shaped the lives of many.
