  • The North-South Divide in Italy: Reality Or Perception?
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk EUROPEAN SPATIAL RESEARCH AND POLICY Volume 25 2018 Number 1 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1231-1952.25.1.03 Dario MUSOLINO∗ THE NORTH-SOUTH DIVIDE IN ITALY: REALITY OR PERCEPTION? Abstract. Although the literature about the objective socio-economic characteristics of the Italian North- South divide is wide and exhaustive, the question of how it is perceived is much less investigated and studied. Moreover, the consistency between the reality and the perception of the North-South divide is completely unexplored. The paper presents and discusses some relevant analyses on this issue, using the findings of a research study on the stated locational preferences of entrepreneurs in Italy. Its ultimate aim, therefore, is to suggest a new approach to the analysis of the macro-regional development gaps. What emerges from these analyses is that the perception of the North-South divide is not consistent with its objective economic characteristics. One of these inconsistencies concerns the width of the ‘per- ception gap’, which is bigger than the ‘reality gap’. Another inconsistency concerns how entrepreneurs perceive in their mental maps regions and provinces in Northern and Southern Italy. The impression is that Italian entrepreneurs have a stereotyped, much too negative, image of Southern Italy, almost a ‘wall in the head’, as also can be observed in the German case (with respect to the East-West divide). Keywords: North-South divide, stated locational preferences, perception, image. 1. INTRODUCTION The North-South divide1 is probably the most known and most persistent charac- teristic of the Italian economic geography.

More specifically, the aim of “Parma e le sue imprese” (Parma and its Enterprises) is to provide an overview of industrial activity in our province, focusing on the wide variety of manufacturing and service sectors and the specialized activity thereof. In fact, even if the core of Parma’s manufacturing tradition is to be found in the production and processing of agricultural products –Parma ham and parmesan cheese that have made it known around the world are good examples of this – there are many other sectors, some connected to this core activity and others not, which have contributed to make our productive capacity one of the most important in Italy today, fully capable of meeting the needs of our modern world and an increasingly globally-oriented future. Special thanks go to the Studies and Research Department for their tireless efforts in the preparation of this study.

  • Emilia-Romagna & San Marino
    © Lonely Planet 425 Emilia-Romagna & San Marino Emilia-Romagna has long been overlooked as little more than a stepping stone between the Veneto and Tuscany. But take time to explore this underrated region and you’ll discover an area rich in art and culture, an area of mouthwatering food and robust wine, of cosmopolitan EMILIA-ROMAGNA & SAN MARINO resorts and quiet backwaters. Much of its medieval architecture dates to the Renaissance, when a handful of power­ ful families set up court here: the Farnese in Parma and Piacenza, the Este in Ferrara and Modena, and the Bentivoglio in Bologna. The regional capital, Bologna, is one of Italy’s unsung joys. A foodie city with a hedonistic approach to life, it’s home to Europe’s oldest university and a stunning medieval centre. A short hop to the northwest, Modena boasts a superb Romanesque cathedral and a hint of the gourmet delights that await in Parma, the city that gifted the world prosciutto crudo (cured ham, popularly known as Parma ham) and parmigiano reggiano (Parmesan). In the countryside to the south, castles pepper hilltops as flat plains give way to the Apennine peaks. Ferrara and Ravenna are the highlights of Romagna (the eastern half of Emilia-Romagna). Both are within easy distance of Bologna and both merit a visit – Ferrara for its beautiful Renaissance centre, Ravenna for its sensational Byzantine mosaics. If, after all that high culture, you need a break, head to Rimini where the crowded beaches and cutting-edge clubs promise more earthy pleasures, or San Marino where armies of day-trippers enjoy vast views.

  • The Ghibelline Globalists of the Techno-Structure: on the Current Destinies of Empire and Church
    Afterword The Ghibelline Globalists of the Techno-Structure: On the Current Destinies of Empire and Church For the past fifty years, the definitive establishment of the great Asian-Amer- ican-European federation and its unchallenged domination over scattered leftovers of inassimilable barbarousness, in Oceania or in Central Africa, had accustomed all peoples, presently clustered into provinces, to the bliss of a uni- versal, and thenceforth imperturbable, peace. No fewer than one hundred and fifty years of wars were needed to achieve this marvelous development […]. Contrary to public proclamations, it wasn’t a vast democratic republic that emerged from the aggregation. Such an eruption of pride could not but raise a new throne, the highest, the strongest, the most radiant there ever was. Gabriel Tarde, Fragment d’histoire future (1896)1 ean Stone’s New World Order (NWO) tells the story of a “Deep State,” of an extraneous apparatus within the American Federation. This foreign entity, which acts in inconspicuous ways, i.e., through Sextremely exclusive lodges and clubs, appears to be bent on taking over the wholesome strata of America, her exceptional manpower and resourc- es, and harnessing them to a vast design of centralized, planetary domina- tion. This “extraneous body” is typically an oligarchic mindset of unmis- takable British make. Professedly “democratic” and “Liberal,” this English drive is, in fact, ferociously elitist and exploitative. To date, it represents the most sophisticated conception of imperial management. Technical- ly, it uses finance and commerce as its consuetudinary instruments of rent- and resource-extraction; politically, it keeps public opinion “in flux” by playing (i.e., scripting) both sides of the electoral spectrum (Left vs.

  • Economics, Cooperation, and Employee Ownership: the Emilia Romagna Model – in More Detail
    Economics, Cooperation, and Employee Ownership http://dept.kent.edu/oeoc/oeoclibrary/emiliaromagnalong.htm Economics, Cooperation, and Employee Ownership: The Emilia Romagna model – in more detail John Logue There are at least two European models for employee ownership that demand American attention. The one is the Mondragon cooperative group in the Basque region of Spain which has been frequently discussed in American employee ownership circles (see, for instance, “Lessons of Mondragon’s Employee-Owned Network,”Owners at Work XII:1, 5-9 and “From Mondragon to Ohio,” Owners at Work XIII:1, 16-17). The other is the much less well known complex of employee-owned companies in the Emilia Romagna region in Northern Italy around Bologna. I had the good fortune to take a week’s study trip to the employee-owned sector in Northern Italy this last summer with a delegation from the Boston-based Cooperative Charitable Trust to see the Emilian model first hand. In some ways, Emilia Romagna and the Basque co-ops are very different. In the Basque region, the Mondragon employee cooperatives grew out of Catholic social teaching and Basque nationalism in the 1950s and 1960s. In Emilia Romagna, by contrast, the co-ops grew up with the 19th century labor movement but split into three different partisan political federations -- Catholic, Socialist/Communist, and Social Democratic/Republican -- in the 20th century. They have no link to ethnic or linguistic minorities. In other ways, they are very similar. Both appear to owe their success today to a combination of small scale, flexible employee-owned firms which achieve economies of scale to compete globally through collaborative research and development strategies, cooperative export efforts, their own financial institutions, and other forms of collaboration and cooperation that are largely or completely missing in the employee-owned sector in the US.
