Pandelleria: A tribute to the Fiat Panda and the people who build it

Fiat Panda

The Fiat Panda, an iconic symbol of Made in Italy, has been capturing the hearts of city car enthusiasts for over four decades. Its versatility, functionality, and affordability make it a reliable companion to many who appreciate its practical qualities. To celebrate the success of this beloved car and pay tribute to the employees who manufacture it, Fiat has produced a 30-minute film called "Pandelleria."

Filmed on the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria, which boasts the highest density of Fiat Pandas in the world, "Pandelleria" takes viewers on an entertaining and sometimes surreal journey into the lives of the islanders and their connection to the iconic FIAT brand. The film showcases the Panda's role as part of the islanders' daily life, who rely on it to navigate the rugged terrain and the narrow streets of Pantelleria.

But "Pandelleria" is not just about the car but also a tribute to the people who built it. The documentary features interviews with 14 Pantelleria residents who share their passion for the Fiat Panda and their love for the island. Among them are a philosopher, a beekeeper, a farmer, a mechanic, a priest, and a musician, all of whom rely on the Panda's versatility to make their lives easier. Their stories are a testament to the car's practical qualities and the impact it has had on the lives of everyday people.

The film was conceived by Publicis Groupe agencies Leo Burnett and Publicis Sapient and produced by Twister Film, directed by Giovanni Troilo, known for his documentaries "Power of Rome" and "Vesuvio or: How They Learned to Live Between Volcanoes." The film's production quality is top-notch, capturing the beauty of Pantelleria and the Panda's role in the island's daily life.

But "Pandelleria" is not just a film; it is also a symbol of the Italian upswing and the contribution of the employees at the Pomigliano d'Arco plant. Olivier François, CEO of the FIAT brand and Global CMO of the Stellantis Group, stated that the success of the Fiat Panda is due in no small part to the passion and professionalism of the employees at the plant. The plant, named after the Naples-born philosopher Giambattista Vico, is one of the most modern production facilities in the Stellantis Group and has received numerous international awards in the past.

One of the corporate goals of the plant is to reduce the impact of production on the environment through continuous improvements. This commitment to sustainability aligns with the practical qualities of the Fiat Panda, which has always been known for its fuel efficiency and low emissions.

"Pandelleria" is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates the practicality and versatility of the Fiat Panda and the impact it has had on Italian culture.
