L'articolo Made in Italy, Eccellenze che diventano Identità proviene da ItalPlanet.

Come sempre avviene alla conclusione dell’anno solare, gli sguardi di tutti – delle famiglie, delle imprese, della politica – sono rivolti all’anno nuovo, per sperare in quella ripresa che tutti attendono con fiducia, come ci ricorda nel messaggio di fine anno il Presidente della Repubblica Mattarella riportato in apertura di questo numero.
Di produzioni d’eccellenza italiane – che sia l’agroalimentare, la nautica, il design, la moda – ci occupiamo in tutti i numeri, perché è a queste produzioni che dobbiamo la fama dell’Italia, così come è al loro export che dobbiamo buona parte della ricchezza prodotta dal nostro Paese. Motivo per cui le copertine di èItalia spesso sono dedicate a personalità italiane di spicco che operano per tutelare, promuovere e diffondere il Made in Italy nel mondo.
A conferma di ciò, questo numero di èItalia appare come un vero e proprio “manifesto” delle Eccellenze Italiane testimoniate in copertina dalla Presidente del Comitato Leonardo Luisa Todini e a seguire, dall’impegno svolto dallo stesso Comitato per presentare al mondo le nostre eccellenze produttive, con la storia e il saper fare che vi stanno dietro. Perché è nel Made in Italy che si trovano racchiuse esperienza, competenza, qualità, idee, passione e molto altro ancora.

Argentina: Macri, an Italian, is the new President
Italy greets Argentina, with the Minister of Agriculture, Maurizio Martina, present at the inaugural ceremonies for the new Argentinian president, Mauricio Macri. After taking an oath before the joint session of the chambers in the ‘Congreso Nacional’ Building, Macri delivered a message to the country, in which he invited Argentina to work united in order to eradicate poverty, fight drug trafficking and relaunch the country. “We want to maintain relationships of cooperation with every country in the world”, the new President said, also greeting the other presidential candidates present in the parliamentary Chamber. Macrì even found room in his speech to mention his origins: son of Franco, who was born in Reggio Calabria and moved to Buenos Aires in the 1950s – in this way, the new president paid homage to the work of the “immigrants who crossed the Ocean without Facebook or Twitter”, “arriving here, where they settled, creating a marvellous milestone in Argentina’s history. It is now our turn”.

Smart communities and sharing economy to relaunch the country’s growth
This is what emerges from ‘Lessons for the future’, the study on innovation that Edison presented to the Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, on the occasion of Digital Day at the Reggia di Venaria royal palace. The Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, who was eagerly awaited at the event, was received at the Reggia di Venaria by the President of the Piedmont Regional Authority, Sergio Chiamparino, and by the mayor of Turin, Piero Fassino.
“Digital is Italy’s greatest opportunity to be itself”, said Renzi. “We must make sure that digital is not just a bit of fun, something for the experts, for geeks. Digital reform means a simpler and fairer country. Italy has had some difficulty in recent years – Premier Renzi underlined – even in paying off public sector debts. Starting now and for the next few years, we are facing a great challenge – that of making Italy go back to being Italy again.”
