Abstract
Despite the tempestuous conclusion, the 20 years I spent in Fiat were a fantastic period for me. I am enormously grateful to the Company that gave me such an extraordinary opportunity, and the reader of this book knows perfectly well that I do not identify Fiat with anyone in particular, not even with Gianni Agnelli, far less Cesare Romiti (an identification that both of them tried to establish on several occasions). For me, Fiat is all the men and women who have worked or work for it, as well as the two personages mentioned above; they all deserve their collective identity to be recognized, like that of the inhabitants of a serious, active nation, an identity wholly independent of that of the leader of the moment. For my part I tried to respond suitably, expending literally all the energies at my disposal to contribute to its prosperity and growth.

Notes
- 1.
The first draft of this text contained an endless number of names that no editor of good sense could have accepted in a book destined for the public. I was obliged to shift many names to the apparatus of notes and documents (Chap. 14) and to “forget about” others. I apologize but I really could not do anything more than this.
