The growth of Italian GDP should be based on the best our economy has to offer: the creation of values originating from beauty, attention to details and the highest standard of excellence in all fields. The new book of the Ricerche series, commissioned to Bocconi University by the  Cologni Foundation and supported by Vacheron Constantin, explores Italy’s system of top-quality artisan manufacturing in all its criticalities and specificities.
