There is no development without culture

We know this well: culture is at the heart of any development. That’s why in building #SUDeFUTURI Saturday afternoon we created three different thematic tables, with a unique narrative.
We started with territorial development and some emblematic case histories. We found the Silk Road, started from the recovery of an ancient tradition, in a small village of San Floro (Cz), through the desire of some young people to return home to leave a trace. We discovered the beneficial properties of bergamot, which only fruites in the Jonica Regiment, through the story of an industrial reality that has been declared the only real novelty of nutraceuticals at the last Vitafood Salon (Geneva). We are passionate about the growth and the new editorial bets of a reality that has now established itself as a focal point of information in Southern Italy. From the individual stories we have moved on to examine the national and international political and economic actions that can – which must help our excellences to become a rule, and not an exception.

Identity and history, roots, memory and its representation: the closing of the second day was a crescendo of emotions and narration. Starting from the trailer of the film “Aspromonte – the land of the last”, the cultural table was led by linking together the ideas and experiences of the speakers, to search together for the best way to create development through culture.
