Closed the Manufacture, here comes the new citadel for companies to house There 's nothing like the tobacco is the delight of good people, and whoever lives without tobacco is not worthy of living. Molière production for over hundred and fifty years 'monumental buildings in the industry' s Sacco were manufactured and packaged cigars, cigarettes, smoking tobacco and snuff Infrastructure The "zigarane" taxed, they built a bridge over the river Leno, to avoid those from south to ford two times a day - even in the dark - the course of 'water
Within this' year - is news of a few days ago - even the last disused tobacco factory still in operation in Italy. That bag of Rovereto shortly before the fate of the other suspending the tobacco industry in 2008: in particular, but rather to recur as an exhibition space, museum or university, according to designs the majority of sites that are closing, remain faithful to his old vocation of manufacture, place of production, that is. For more than hundred and fifty years' monumental buildings in the Tobacco Factory of Sacco are manufactured and packaged cigars, cigarettes, smoking tobacco and snuff. L 'had wanted to force the administrators of the small town of Trentino, which then belonged to' Austria was threatened by a double crisis of his two main resources: the declining activity silk manufacturers, with the 'rearing of silkworms and processing of the product, as well as navigation on' Adige, with rafts and barges, on which bag had the exclusive right to drive along the stretch between Salorno and Verona, which already announced the construction of Lombardo Veneta railway line would be expected in a few years given the coup de grace. In view of the fact that the area was cultivated tobacco for at least three centuries and therefore c 'was the know-how! but even more because, thanks to 'financial assistance in Rovereto, Sacco was able to accept the heavy conditions imposed by the monopoly granted to the Austrian' erection of the Manufacture and supply that is free of soil, 'water and building materials, gave the monarchy to start work in March 1851. And now in 'August of 1853 the first workers were hired. In a short time, not just the factory began to march in full swing, the workers were five hundred, mostly women. And for this - for the development that took women's work - went a profound change in the area of \u200b\u200bthe company by industrial farming became perhaps more quickly than elsewhere. It was the phenomenon "zigarane" deeply marked in the decades that the life of the country and its surroundings. One of the first steps was the 'establishment, more or less spontaneous and with many years in advance, a nursery, born on the needs of the many zigarane who did not know where to leave their children children when they went to the factory. There followed, over the years, the needs of working-class housewives, the reduction of working time from ten to nine hours daily, in addition to 'introduction of even rudimentary health insurance and an equally rudimentary form of pension, called the mutual , at 'other times non-existent in reality. At one point was also made of a kitchen, and soon after, a real mess. Being zigarane was a status that included a pride and a pride not only a strong sense of community. Perennial and admired their memory remains, however, Sacco, mainly because of the bridge over the river Leno who is called "the zigarane 'that taxed, they built for avoid those who came from south to ford two times a day - even in pitch dark, so - of course the 'water, albeit often reduced to a trickle or, alternatively, to lengthen the path of approaching nearly two hours through to Rovereto. Near the old wooden bridge, now only because pedestrian accompanied by a modern concrete, soon there will also be a memorial to the legendary workers of the Tobacco Factory. Less than a century and a half from the 'start of production, have come at a certain point, after the' other, in the space of about thirty 'years, the rationalization of' immense industrial complex, the mechanization of processing, reduce - dramatically - Employee two thousand workers of the time d 'oro there remained only one hundred and forty, and finally, the' inevitable disposal took place March 31, 2008, due to the relocation effort with major U.S. clients, and partly, perhaps, even more general prohibition of smoke from United States has rapidly expanded to Europe '. After just seven months after the cessation of production, the Province of Trento, however, has purchased the 'whole area and another six months after the company was established Manufacturing Tomorrow that aims to transform the' old place of manufacture of cigarettes, protecting them from speculation building without compromising its primary identity as a factory. An 'operation, since the investment needed provided € 110 million, of which two thirds to be borne by the Province of Trento and a third of the state, to shake the veins in his wrists as he does not say, but suggests Gianluca Salvatori, President and CEO of the combined company. "We have reflected on the" factory Trentino ", on what is produced here better and longer, upon the expertise of Trentino, on the amazing multi-sector that revolves around the 'building and that, moreover, preserved the region from an economic crisis more deep. In other words, here and build houses for these homes are manufactured doors and windows, flooring and kitchens, bathrooms and furniture, wood, marble, tiles and paints a more 'infinity other components and accessories. There are plenty of companies, small businesses, who work in this area and the road should take, and that many of them already have taken forcibly to pass - in view of economic considerations and competition with other countries - for environmental sustainability and energy savings. Those who do not will travel this road will inevitably cut off, but follow it in solitude, each holding its own, promises to be probably too difficult undertaking. The Factory will be transformed into a place so accommodating about sixty of these companies, who will work side by side, supported and accompanied by researchers who have their workshops in the same industrial complex. There will be companies, service centers, places for training but also spaces for public office. There will be experimentation and innovation in terms of architectural, engineering and energy. Here we will study short, and built the homes of the future. " The transformation of the 'ancient monuments Tobacco Factory has already started on a project by an international team formed by Kengo Kuma and Carlo Ratti - responsible for the overall architectural design and processing of fifty-six thousand square meters of the plant covered in a' total area of \u200b\u200beight hectares and half - by Arup, responsible for technology solutions that will make the whole sustainable energy and environment, and Kanso, in charge of 'technical and economic analysis and definition of the profile of subjects to be set up in the factory. Two thousand five hundred square meters have already been restored and in April the first sixty people will enter the old-new factory zigarane and outwardly maintain its face forever. Among them are Korean, Finnish, German, Brazilian and Trentino. When the complex is fully implemented it is expected that thousands of people to work 'about. Complete work? "It is so important. Depend on the timing of the restructuring, rehabilitation and reconstruction, "says Gianluca Salvatori, always with that low profile they need to go to very good end of the large enterprise. **** A World History This disposal 'year will be "only" three hundred million cigarettes manufactured in Italy, compared to one hundred billion in 2002. This is also the 'effect of the divestiture of the Tobacco Factory. The 'last one still active, that of Lecce, closed its doors with the' start of 'years. Previously (as well as in Rovereto) had already fallen to those of Bologna and Scafati whereas the plants in Cava dei Tirreni and Lucca were sold to manufacturing companies Tuscan cigar. 'S only Italian manufacturer of cigarettes currently active (in 2002 there were as many as 21) is that of Clairvaux, Ancona. **** The project "Manufacturing Tomorrow" is the company, born in 2009 and presided over by Gianluca Salvatori, in charge of the redevelopment of 'ex-Tobacco Factory in Rovereto in the round' area view from 'above. The project involves the construction of a manufacturing hub, "which develops research initiatives, training, technical assistance, networking on issues of sustainability and environmental technologies" and "a space for experimentation of innovative solutions in terms of architectural, engineering, plant , energy. " The international team involved in the project consists of Kkaa Kengo Kuma Associates, Cra Carlo Ratti Associati, Arup and Kanso. "Here - explains the 'architect Kuma - the history and the most advanced technology coexist, boxes Dismantling, green el 'man live. "
