And speaking of the Province of Reggio Emilia ...
The most striking fact is the ability of Reggio Emilia�s productive system to sustain an economy with one of the lowest unemployment rates in Italy. The companies are mainly craft industries or medium-small sized companies. The most important sectors are the mechanical industry, ceramics and clothing, that have organised themselves and acquired such professional abilities as to be able to compete successfully abroad and attracts numerous multinational companies and foreign investors. Many industrial companies in Reggio Emilia owe their leading position within Italy and throughout the world to the fact that they are clustered in districts, i.e. entire areas within the region are devoted to the same sector and contain a very high density of companies operating within that sector.
