The Marchionne that few people knew on ItalyChronicles.com. Dennis Redmont’s unique perspective on a great businessman always ahead of the times. Marchionne managed to rescue the FIAT group, saving it from the brink of bankruptcy, merging it with the Detroit-based Chrysler group and making it into a world-class automotive manufacturer, FCA.
Unorthodox in his dressing attires, he was a staunch believer of industry 4.0 and was ready to pursue his goals, even when this meant going against the powerful Confindustria, the Italian business “union”, or the Italian Trade Unions.

On March, 28 Dennis Redmont presented the world premiere of “The Jazz Ambassadors” at “Villa Taverna” in Rome.
It is a documentary by Hugo Berkeley on how the United States in the past conducted cultural diplomacy by sending Jazz greats like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and Dave Brubeck to perform in more than 100 countries, counteracting Soviet propaganda and spreading goodwill.
Ambassador Lewis M. Eisenberg was present at the event, organized for the Young Leaders Alumni of the Council for the United States and Italy.
The film will be broadcast by BBC, PBS, Arte and will participate in international documentary festivals.
