Declining Identity Characters of Italian Design: The Case of the 'Made in Italy' Textile Sector
Abstract
We talk about creativity as the essential gift of Italian design. Creativity is the fruit of a particular sum of components, people, places, deposits and culture, and the term, if understood in the narrowest of exceptions, risks appearing misleading or even leading to trivialization. Italian design is not the sum of Italian designers but a more complex phenomenon, which implies a local culture and a historical-economic-environmental situation that refers to the early post-war years.
