Region attentive to new Pordenone model

This is, in short, what was supported by the regional councilor for Infrastructure and territory this evening on the sidelines of the show “Tales of an industrial city” held in the auditorium of the “Antonio Zanussi” cultural center in Pordenone.

The text traces the exceptional economic evolution of Pordenone, defined in the 1960s as the “little Manchester” of Italy: from the eighteenth-century factories powered by water, to the spinning mills, to the cotton mills up to the rise of the great national household appliance giant , Zanussi, in addition to the myriad of production companies such as Ceramica Scala and Savio. A system that created the economic, social and political conditions for the territory to grow also in terms of administrative autonomy with the birth of the Province.

Today many things have certainly changed. But those roots – as underlined by the councilor – those driven towards prodigious development, the great creativity of the know-how and the industriousness of the Pordenone people have not at all been lost. The current economic-productive primacy of the territory is still firmly based on those historical foundations and resists precisely because it is supported by a manufacturing system that has been able to evolve towards innovative sectoral productions of high technological quality.

An economic fabric, as pointed out by the representative of the Regional Council inspired by the story of the past, made up of production chains that are the ideal continuation of the cotton mills, paper mills and large mechanical workshops “daughters” of the far-sighted business leaders of yesterday . A production organization that is today supported and supported, thanks also to the strong synergy between the Region and the territory that has characterized recent years, by a virtuous “Pordenone-system” made up of the Alto Adriatico technological hub, Pordenone Fiere Spa, Interporto-Centro Ingrosso, Lef di San Vito and the university education system and the ITS Academy which will soon occupy some of the symbolic places of the great past, such as the Valle center management center and the former brewery. A transformation, concluded the councilor, also driven by that “culture industry” that Pordenone has been able to develop with initiatives, events and cultural festivals that have relaunched the territory at a national level, making it ready to deserve the title of Italian Capital of Culture 2027. The territory is equipped, thanks also to its history and new cultural vocations, to overcome new challenges. ARC/LIS/al
