Montalenghe Montalenghe

The retired Olivetti technician, Luciano Morelli, published a 1964 photograph of the delegation with Mr. Ugo La Malfa visiting the Agricultural Cooperative of Montalenghe organized by Adriano Olivetti. Ten years before, this man founded the IRUR (Institute for Urban and Rural Renewal of the Canavese area), aiming to tackle unemployment in the Canavese area by promoting industrial and agricultural activities. The Cooperative was one of the more faithful realizations of the ambitious dream of Luciano Morelli. In fact, in December 1956, seventy-nine landowners decided to share 1500 plots with other people, for a total of about 120 hectares.
