The Italian Lakes Today
News flash: Italy was not cryogenically frozen six centuries ago. Lombardy is one of
Europe's most creative corners, contributing 20% of Italian GDP and registering one
third of the country's innovation patents. Look around you and you'll notice break-
through ideas literally popping up: urban art projects, green-designed parks and
state-of-the-art neighbourhoods. Wary of the future, though, savvy Lombards are
now investing heavily in the knowledge-economy.
