ROME: Italy's economy has two faces. On one side, sectors of the economy demonstrate extraordinary productivity, and have won big shares of international markets. For example, the mechanical industries in the Veneto and in Emilia led by Carararo, and Ducati, as well as the optical industry in the Northeast with Luxottica in the lead. These are firms known across the globe, and which are often the objects of acquisitive interest from foreign competitors or great international investors, such as Piaggio and Stefanel.
