Arzignano is the leather industry's Silicon Valley

摘要

When you hear someone say 'Silicon Valley' you always get a positive impression: it means start-up and business in a smart, modern and digital way. Now more than ever, if I think of the tanning industry and of Silicon Valley, I cannot avoid thinking of the tanning district of Arzignano in northern Italy. Those who, like me, travel the world working in the tanning industry, will agree. Naturally, we do not want to downplay the importance of other tanning districts all over the world, but in Arzignano we must recognise an added value on several fronts.
