Recovery of the districts, the locomotive composed of Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia Romagna that is driving the Italian recovery, public accounts, labor and new “champion” companies. These will be some of the themes of the 11th Festival Città Impresa, the spring edition of the Festival of Industrial Territories directed by Dario Di Vico, which will return to Vicenza April 13-15.
The event, at a time when media attentions are focused on post-vote parliamentary events and the difficult balances in government, brings the spotlight back on the real economy, territories and industry. From Friday to Sunday, the Festival will animate Vicenza, along the axis of Corso Andrea Palladio-from the Teatro Olimpico, the venue for the major debates, to Palazzo Chiericati, from Palazzo Trissino to the Gallerie d’Italia-Palazzo Leoni Montanari, from the Palladio Museum to the headquarters of Confindustria Vicenza-with comparisons and round tables, in a series of meetings that are already scoring several sold-out. Among the chief guests are Fincantieri CEO Giuseppe Bono, those of Atlantia and Italo, Giovanni Castellucci and Flavio Cattaneo, jurist Sabino Cassese, Cna president Daniele Vaccarino, former spending review commissioner Carlo Cottarelli, chief economists from Intesa Sanpaolo and Confindustria, Gregorio De Felice and Andrea Montanino, the president of Federmeccanica Alberto Dal Poz, the mayors of Piacenza, Bergamo and Vicenza, Patrizia Barbieri, Giorgio Gori and Achille Variati, the executive chairman of Eataly Andrea Guerra, big businessmen such as Alberto Bombassei and Gianpietro Benedetti but also many small and medium-sized “champion” entrepreneurs. Along with them are university professors and prominent trade unionists, the protagonists of information, such as the director of Corriere della SeraLucianoFontana and that of Tg La7 Enrico Mentana, and those of culture such as the president of La Biennale di Venezia, Paolo Baratta , and the playwright Stefano Massini, who will close the Festival.
