  • The Packaging Machinery Cluster in Bologna
    Collective Goods in the Local Economy: The Packaging Machinery Cluster in Bologna Paper by Henry Farrell and Ann-Louise Lauridsen March 2001 The debate about the industrial districts of central and north-eastern Italy has evolved over the last 25 years. Initially, many saw them as evidence that small firms could prosper contrary to the arguments of the proponents of big industry. Debate focussed on whether small firm industrial districts had a genuine independent existence, or were the contingent result of large firms’ outsourcing strategies (Brusco 1990, Bagnasco 1977, Bagnasco 1978). This spurred discussion about the role of local and regional government and political parties – small firm success might need services from government, associations, or local networks (Brusco 1982, Trigilia 1986). The difficulties that many industrial districts experienced in the late 1980s and early 1990s, together with the greater flexibility of large firms, led to a second wave of research, which asked whether industrial districts had long term prospects (Harrison 1994, Trigilia 1992, Bellandi 1992, Cooke and Morgan 1994). The most recent literature examines the responses of industrial districts to these challenges; it is clear that many industrial districts have adapted successfully to changing market conditions, but only to the extent that they have changed their modes of internal organisation, and their relationship with the outside world (Amin 1998, Bellandi 1996, Dei Ottati 1996a, Dei Ottati 1996b, Burroni and Trigilia 2001). While these debates have generated important findings, much basic conceptual work remains unfinished. There is still no real consensus about what forces drive evolution in industrial districts and lead to their success or failure.

Interesting from a geologi- cal and naturalistic point of view, its valley offers many reasons for a visit. Particularly beautiful is the stretch of river where it joins the Zena Valley: this is where the Canale dei Mulini (mills) branches off, continuing alon- gside it until it reaches the plains, in the ter- ritory of San Lazzaro di Savena. Flowing through the Valleys of Campotto, the Idice finally joins the Reno. Here an interesting system of manmade basins stop the Reno’s water flowing into the Idice’s bed in dry periods.

In this context, the Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) is considered a pioneer in Italy, due to the efforts taken for the transition towards a circular economy. It was the first Italian region to launch a specific law on the subject besides to have relevant projects. Thus, the objective of this paper is to analyse the efforts aimed at the transition to a circular economy in the Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy, considering technological, legal–regulatory, and financial points of view under a market orientation. Complementary, we pointed out the main initiatives related to the circular economy and the areas of interest. To gather data, we conducted applied, descriptive and qualitative research.

The evaluation of plau- sible links between Indo-European (Italic and, especially, Celtic) and Etruscan in this area, in the specific field of historical toponomastics, could allow relevant considerations inherently in the notions of reuse and refunctionalization of roots pertaining to different languages and linguistic families in the (mainly Prehistoric or Proto-historic) topon- ymy of border areas. The placename Imola is, therefore, reconstructed through a “convergent” methodology that takes into account the pos- sibility of different and heterogeneous influences in the naming process. The work starts from the analysis of the Indo-European root *yem- /*jem- inferring the possibility of contacts between Indo-Europeans and Etruscans in the area of the inhabited center. The proposal of possible linguistic interexchange envisages the hypothesis of a semantic align- ment between the Indo-European root *yem-/*jem- and the Etruscan stem am- or an analogy between the two bases and the Indo-European theme *am- (*me-). The conclusions (a plausible contact and alignment between Indo-European and Etruscan in a border area) of this paper could be relevant also in the field of historical semantics and in the re-interpretation of Etruscan stem am-.

Già dai titoli - “Mediter- raneo” e “Odissea” -, è evidente la possibilità di trovare una comunanza nelle tematiche di fondo. Il viaggio, il mare. L’uomo singolo e le comunità, a confronto con tutto questo. Con le partenze, gli approdi, reali o immaginati, temuti, desiderati, ri- cordati. Con i cambiamenti e le congiunzioni che si creano, i bagagli che si aprono e i nuovi percorsi che iniziano. Questi contenuti e la scelta di uscire all’aperto e portare il teatro nelle Piazze e negli spazi pubblici alla ricerca delle persone, ci offrono l’occasione di riflettere sull’importanza della cultura, anche (forse soprattutto) in una dimensione locale. Per “cucire le comunità”, appunto. Esigenza non solo di colmare le distanze tra provenienze diverse (che si tratti di municipi o continenti), ma di esse- re spinti a riflettere sul viaggio unico e irripetibi- le che ognuno di noi nella propria vita si trova a compiere. E, nella riflessione, (ri)conoscersi come parte di qualcosa che, nonostante le nostre diffe- renze e nonostante qualcuno a volte voglia farci credere il contrario, tutti insieme ci unisce.
