During Confartigianato’s General Assembly in Rome, Italian President Sergio Mattarella emphasized the historical and ongoing significance of craftsmanship in Italy’s economy. He pointed out that artisan enterprises account for over 20% of the country’s business fabric and 15% of employment, underscoring their role in preserving Italian identity and the ‘Made in Italy’ brand. Mattarella also noted the positive trend of increasing artisans among immigrants, which enriches skills and potentially rejuvenates threatened professions.
