At the end of my service in the air force -  Air Force Lieutenant - where I worked as a programmer and systems analyst at CELD ( Data Processing Center).I found quickly an employment  ready.  In fact some years before (1962) I had chosen well my university courses by attending the mechanical engineering school. In fact I knew that in my country within 10 years would be  needed employees of a certain level of technical knowledge.
 So made the selections to be qualified to work on Italsider Taranto's fourth steelworks centerrwhich was then undergoing expansion.
I worked in many steel works different areas , first as a researcher metallurgist, then  passed to plants maintenance, and finally concluded my experience in Taranto as director of the two UOE and two spiral welded pipe mills (1990 -1992).
For ILVA  bad wind did blow  because under European pressure and by the foolish policy of the leftist government and workers trade unions,  Italy was betrayed and had to sell the steelworks plants. Foreseeing this I  worked in order to request and obtain to be transfer to  Terni's steel works, which was then to be sold to Thyssen-Krupp.  After my father's death in 1994  I have resigned to devote to family business.

Note: lived more than twenty years in Statte (TA), about eleven Km far from the steel works plants. That town is where now someone say that most of cancer cases are caused by ILVA Taranto steelworks pollution. I was working there, and lived fine with a beautiful stiff sea wind almost always blowing. Perhaps the wind did stop blowing today? Or perhaps in Thyssen Krupp they need to stop a competitor, or someone seeks compensations for damages or what? Suspect there's some actual interests into, such as the global warming business, or OGM dangers, and other similar beseeming baloneys.
