Vico D'Incerti, A Century of Love, Politics, and Industry

Nunzia Manicardi, Vico D'Incerti, A Century of Love, Politics, and Industry, Il Fiorino Editions, Modena 2014, pp. 126, cm 21, br. ed.

A biography dedicated to the singular figure of Vico D'Incerti, engineer, industrial manager, inventor, and one of the most active Italian numismatists of the twentieth century, reconstructed by Nunzia Manicardi based on the protagonist's personal diaries and private documentation. The volume provides a profile of a man intimately connected to the development of Italian industry in the first half of the twentieth century, to which he contributed through numerous patents and design projects, particularly distinguishing himself in the fields of photography and film. Of particular interest is the reference to the famous Ferrania "Rondine," a photographic camera that became an emblem of Italian production of the period and one of the most famous creations associated with D'Incerti. The work is part of the tradition of Italian technical-industrial memoirs, while also offering a glimpse into twentieth-century entrepreneurial and scientific culture.
