We first encountered the story of the Lebole workers and the impact that MTM had on their lives and health conditions during our research residency at the archive of Fondazione ISEC in Sesto San Giovanni, near Milan. Their story was "told" to by Luigi Firrao, who followed it meticulously for a number of years. Firrao had a number of interviews with the Leboline, where he chatted with them about their experiences, as well as recording the powerful lyrics of their political choruses. He then wrote several newspaper articles denouncing the hidden violence of the new management techniques which were silently creeping in Italian factories since the early 1960s. Firrao also left us an exceptional collection of newspaper cut-outs, articles, and reportages on the theme of MTM and its impact on the life of the workers.

Between 1948 and 1953, the PCI sent him to Viterbo to organize the struggles of agricultural workers, activities which led to his arrest and multiple convictions.

He was then hired by Misal, a company that manufactured machine tools. Within Misal, despite his political ideas, he managed to make a remarkable career and assume a managerial position. During the 1960s, Firrao became interested in various issues related to his role as manager, and in particular the subject of work organization and, in parallel, the subject of working conditions in industry.

In 1969, after publicly taking position in favor of the student movement, he was expelled from the party and joined the "Manifesto" movement with his wife. From the years 1968-69 until his death, together with Giulia, he dealt with the capitalist organization of labor, interviewing numerous male and female workers. Firrao then organized a series of lectures on the subject at the University of Rome.
