Synopsis

The Italian word umarell refers to “retired men who spend their time observing construction sites—especially roadworks—often offering unsolicited advice.” Originating in Bologna, the term gained national recognition in 2021 when it was officially added to the Italian dictionary. This milestone marked the success of Danilo Masotti’s clever insight: in 2005, he identified the first “umarell zero” and was fascinated by the phenomenon. What began as a blog soon became a best-selling book.

Since then, umarells have grown into a cultural icon, inspiring songs, TV shows, documentaries, posters, board games, and more—both in Italy and beyond.

This new full-color volume is the ultimate guide to the world of umarells: their habits, postures, hobbies, quirks, and passions. With wit and precision, Masotti reveals everything there is to know about them—preparing us all for the future that may await.
