Fiat’s founder, Giovanni Agnelli, begins building his dynasty, but his power could be checked by a rising and ruthless political star – Benito Mussolini. Will Fiat - now at the centre of Italy’s political, economic and cultural life – be free to plot its own path under fascism, or will Giovanni need to bend to the dictator? Plus, as Giovanni’s son is groomed to succeed him, the family’s fortunes take an unexpected turn.
