(17 January 2017) In the 1980s, the ‘Made in Italy’ brand was very successful in the global market. Italy is in the top five in the rankings of world economic powers, showing a remarkable ability for technological innovation of small and medium-sized businesses. The atmosphere in Italian society, over the course of a few years, has completely changed: a withdrawal from and rejection of politics, and the triumph of the private sector… “The optimism of the eighties: a new economic miracle?” is the title of the conference organised by the Italian Cultural Institute of Lyon taking place on Tuesday, 14 February (19:00, Goethe-Loft, 18 rue François Dauphin). The event is organised in association with the series of conferences “Conosci l’Italia e la sua Storia” (Italy and its History) by Professor Maurizia Morini. (Red)
