    NOTES TO THE TEXTS
    The texts collected in this website are taken from interviews and statements issued by Gianni Agnelli to the press, broadcasters and agencies, in Italy and abroad, from his prefaces of books, as well as "Intervista sul Capitalismo Moderno", edited by Arrigo Levi for Laterza in 1938. The editorial action has been limited to a few additions, that were necessary for the understanding of some passages, and some slight formal adjustments in the case of transcripts of television programs and the meeting with the students of the Sorbonne that took place on April 23, 1989 as part of the Citè de la Réussite.
