We first encountered the story of the Lebole workers and the impact that the MTM Method had on their lives and health conditions during our research residency at the archive of Fondazione ISEC in Sesto San Giovanni, near Milan.
We encountered this story as "told" by Luigi Firrao, who followed it meticulously for a number of years. Firrao had a number of interviews with Leboline, asking them to address the complexity of their struggles as well as preserving the powerful lyrics they invented for their political choruses. He wrote several newspaper articles denouncing the hidden violence of the new management techniques which were silently creeping in Italian factories since the early 1960s. He 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.

In our research, which we present here in form of a growing zine and a related library of resources(some of which, from the Luigi Firrao archive at ISEC Foundation, we are making available here for the first time in digital form), we retrace Lebole's story
Maddening Rhythms is the experimental publication which you are holding between your hands or reading on your screen. It is an ever-evolving zine that accompanies our research exploring the links between healthcare, environmental and work -related struggles. We used the story of the introduction of the MTM method at Lebole and the opposition with which it was met as a red thread to which we present here in form of a growing zine and a related library of resources(some of which, from the Luigi Firrao archive at ISEC Foundation, we are making available here for the first time in digital form), we retrace Lebole's story
focused on one of such struggles for health that took place in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s. We believe that reactivating some of the stories, techniques and imaginaries that came out of it can be a useful exercise in our present days, in the aftermath of the Covid-19 syndemic, an event with a death poll that could have been, in large part, preventable.
