1932 in Italy

Events from the year 1932 in Italy.

In 1932, the Great Depression touches its peak in Italy too. The unemployed are officially a million (a quarter of the workforce) but the real cipher is even higher; the industrial production is 85% of the one in 1929. The fascist regime answers with a politic of dirigisme, encouraging fusions and business alliances (Law 834) and realizing great public Works, widely publicized but insufficient to solve the problem. The deficit of the state passes from 504 million liras (budget year 1931) to 3 billion 587 million liras.

The three main Italian shipping lines (NGI, Lloyd Sabaudo and Cosoluch STN) merge in the Italia Flotte Riunite.

The ICO becomes a S. A. and changes name in Olivetti S. p. A.; the direction passes from Camillo Olivetti to the son Adriano. The firm presents MP1, the first portable typewriter.

Beside the monumentalism of Marcello Piacentini, the official architect of the regime, the rationalist school flourishes too: Giuseppe Terragni begins the Casa del Fascio in Como and Giuseppe Pagano (director of Casabella, organ of the movement) the Institute of Physic in Rome. In Milan, the BBPR studio and the estate FontanaArte (producing glass lamps, designed by Giò Ponti) are constituted.

Inauguration of the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Siena.

Amedeo Maiuri excavates the cave of the Sybil in Pozzuoli.

Edoardo Weiss founds the Italian Psychoanalytic Society and the Italian Revue of Psychoanalysis.
