2. Il Duce
A ruthless young politician poses a problem for Fiat鈥檚 founder, as the growing business empire adapts to life under fascism.
Fiat鈥檚 founder, Giovanni Agnelli, begins building his dynasty, but his power could be checked by a rising and ruthless political star 鈥� Benito Mussolini. Will Fiat - now at the centre of Italy鈥檚 political, economic and cultural life 鈥� be free to plot its own path under fascism, or will Giovanni need to bend to the dictator? Plus, as Giovanni鈥檚 son is groomed to succeed him, the family鈥檚 fortunes take an unexpected turn.
