The industrial district:
reality and perspectives of the economic and social fabric
The "industrial district", a set of SMEs that is structured around a production chain, still characterizes Italy but is going through a crisis due to globalization and needs a rethinking, which involves not only the production activity, but also the identity and social cohesion of the whole community. How can the PA, trade associations, credit institutions support businesses and encourage innovation? And what role can contemporary art play in bringing out the needs and in accompanying and encouraging this transition?
