by Patrizia Riello Pera, Padua, Italy
An intense autobiographical work that chronicles the crisis of contemporary Italian industry.
Edoardo Nesi weaves together personal memory, economic reflection, and social observation.
The narrative takes shape around the decline of the textile district of Prato.
For decades, this area stood as one of Italy’s most dynamic industrial engines.
Factories, workshops, and family-run businesses forged a strong collective identity.
With the advent of globalization, that balance begins to slowly unravel.
International competition and new economic dynamics reshape the very nature of work.
Nesi lucidly recounts the transformation of an industrial world in crisis.
The book alternates between personal recollections and reflections on the country’s recent history.
The lives of entrepreneurs, workers, and families tied to the textile sector emerge vividly.
The loss of employment becomes, at the same time, a loss of certainty and belonging.
The author observes, with deep empathy, the end of an economic and social model.
The tone is both nostalgic and critical, yet always profoundly human.
The narrative conveys the sense of disorientation experienced by an entire community.
Story of My People stands as a clear-eyed testimony to the loss of a collective identity in contemporary Italy.
