The essay explores the case of the Fibronit cement-asbestos factory in Broni (Oltrepò Pavese, 1919-1993). The town was assailed by the drama of asbestos contamination, which will continue to affect workers and local inhabitants for a long time to come. The memory of the factory and its consequences on the health of the inhabitants has taken the form of a a radical repression. This paper will demonstrate how tensions within the community have conducted a removal of the problem from the urban horizon, making the intervention of public authorities extremely difficult.
Keywords: asbestos, cement-asbestos, memory, environmental history, industrial disasters, Broni, Oltrepò Pavese.
