Analyzing Portelli’s work provides an opportunity to outline significant moments and key protagonists in the evolution of the discipline. This method is specially useful in focusing on such important aspects of the past as industrialisation followed by deindustrialization later. Oral sources helps to build to a riche and realistic picture of a complex historical process involving structural change, mentalities, collective and individual identities and political dynamics.

Keywords: oral history, Terni, industrialization, deindustrialization, working class.
