1898 - The years before
It was the 1898 when, in a small town in central italy, Officine Raziel were founded by 13 jobless workers.
Until 1915 they built and sold throughout Europe machines and industrial tools. With the outbreak of first World War (1915) they were hired by the army to build military vehicles. The darkest years for Raziel workshop were those from 1918 to 1939, in those years under the direct control of the state, and of the fascist regime, sales have collapsed and were produced about a dozen small agricultural engines per month.
With the outbreak of World War II the workshops were closed and all the workers were reallocated among the ranks.
The second life of Officine Raziel start in 1945 when a Housing Tycoon decides to take over the factories and start building cars.
