The publication presents the history of Villaggio Roma through documents stored in the municipal historic archive. Villaggio Roma, today a tiny area of Torviscosa, was created as a concentration camp for prisoners of war (camp 107) during World War Two. It held around a thousand allied soldiers, mainly from New Zealand and South Africa, who were used in agricultural activity by SNIA Viscosa. After 8th September 1943, the ex-concentration camp housed many homeless families and was gradually transformed into a workers’ village.

“The Poem of Torre Viscosa” by F.T. Marinetti was commissioned from the poet by the president of SNIA Viscosa, Franco Marinotti, in 1938, for the inauguration of the industrial plant at Torviscosa, which at the time was stilled called Torre di Zuino. The title of the poem anticipates what was to become, two years later, the name of the town and the new municipality. It was first published with a foreword entitled “La poesia dei tecnicismi. Manifesto futurista” (The Poem of Technicisms. A Futurist Manifesto”). Both parts were published, with different titles, in 1940, in a collection entitled “ll poema non umano dei tecnicismi” (The Non-Human Poem of Technicisms) which included another eight of Marinetti’s compositions for various initiatives and activities of SNIA Viscosa. This publication reprints the 1938 edition, with the addition of “Poema chimico della luce tessuta” (A Chemical Poem of Woven Light) published in 1935 in the SNIA Viscosa magazine “I nuovi tessili” (New Textiles).
The publication summarises the motives, procedures and results of research and industrial activity by SNIA Viscosa to produce cellulose from giant cane. It contains period photographs and drawings of systems and the production cycle.
A self-presentation by SNIA Viscosa, also aimed at overseas, which describes the situation in the company in the ’60s, including its international activities and plants.
