This is the wild, untold story of Olivetti, of how Italy built the first programmable desktop computer, the Programma 101, and how everything came to a very sad end. This video is also a cautionary tale: how failing to recognize genius people and genius ideas gets you from developing something that's 10 years ahead of everyone else in the most important revolution of the last centirues, to not being able to capitalize on it and lose the race.
