The second half of the 1920s was characterized by a worldwide economic recovery: industrial production and trade grew while the monetary system began to work again. However, the deflationary policies of Fascism combined with the effects of the financial crisis of 1929 aggravated the economic situation in Trentino, causing the closure of many banking institutions and the consequent loss of deposit savings of the local population.
Despite this negative economic climate, the Fabbrica Industrie Chimiche Enrico Zobele was enjoying a period of prosperity that allowed investment in new machineries for fly catchers, the first of which was bought in Prague and adapted by an ingenious local mechanic, who then, by the end of the 30’s, constructed another 7 automatic machines, increasing production up to 130,000 pieces per day.
