    After returning from Auschwitz, Primo Levi found work at Duco di Avigliana, a paint factory. During the week he lived in the establishment's guest quarters, and at night he tried to exorcise his demons by typing up everything his mind suggested to him. It is therefore within these walls that "If This Is a Man" took shape.

    On January 21, 1946, three months after his return to Turin, Primo Levi returned to work as a chemist. He was hired in the laboratories of the Duco paint factory (E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.), part of the Montecatini industrial group. The job lasted 16 months; Levi spent almost all of it in Avigliana, where he stayed in the company’s “Casa bachelorette.”
