Istituto Per La Ricostruzione Industriale - After The War

After The War

After the war the survival of the Institute was not taken for granted, being born more as a temporary solution to a long-term horizon in fact, it was difficult for the state to give private companies requiring large investments and returns over the long run gave. So IRI retained the structure it had under fascism. Only after 1950, according to IRI was better defined: a new thrust for IRI was Oscar Sinigaglia, who with his plan to increase the production capacity of Italian steel industry formed an alliance with private industry, it was thus creating a new role for the IRI, which is to develop large industrial base and infrastructure to the country, not in "supply" of individuals but in a tacit division of labor. They were examples of the development of the steel industry, the telephone network and the construction of the Autostrada del Sole, which began in 1956.
