Complete Histories of the World's Car Makers

Turin's Giant is an independent work of nonfiction about Fiat and its place in modern Italian and European industrial history. From Turin's founding rooms to the assembly lines of Lingotto and Mirafiori, this book traces how a mass-market manufacturer reshaped mobility, work, and politics across more than a century. Following Fiat through wars, booms, labor conflict, global expansion, alliance power plays, and the electrified transition inside Stellantis, it reveals the industrial achievements and the human costs behind the company that made everyday motoring an Italian fact of life.Blending corporate history, industrial history, and social history, this book examines how Fiat grew from a local manufacturer into a national institution and then into part of a global automotive group. It explores the cars, factories, labor struggles, mergers, and strategic decisions that defined Fiat s rise, its crises, and its reinvention in a changing world.Trademark disclaimerThis book is an independent, unauthorized work and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Fiat, Stellantis, or any of their affiliated companies.
