Chiara Galloni on endogenous growth and cultural transmission in Italy
Chiara Galloni, a cultural management professional since 2003 with a degree in Economics of Culture, applies endogenous growth theory to cultural transmission in Italy. She argues that human capital—comprising both the ability to produce goods/services and to imagine new ones—drives community growth. Emphasizing quality over quantity, she advocates for education and creativity beyond market forces. Galloni cites Pier Paolo Pasolini's account of art historian Roberto Longhi as a model of transformative teaching: Longhi's innovative lexicon, irony, and curiosity inspired Pasolini, who after graduating cum laude opened a free private school in Versuta during WWII. Galloni's reflections are part of the "Arte & innovazione" series curated by Michele Dantini on Artribune.
