Odolo
Olifer
The Italian town of Odolo, which in 1978 was described by the Financial Times as the “miracle of Brescia,” had at one time up to 13 steelworks and rolling mills with an annual capacity of almost one million tonnes of steel — unprecedented by any European standards. Steel production and processing continues in Odolo today, albeit in slightly more limited form.
