International press celebrates Italian creativity and innovation revival
International media has been buzzing with headlines like 'La nuova primavera milanese' and 'Italy is back,' reflecting a renewed global perception of Italian creativity and innovation. This shift follows years of economic instability and a perceived loss of credibility. The Wall Street Journal praised 'Bellissima: Italy and High Fashion 1945-1968,' curated by Maria Luisa Frisa, Stefano Tonchi, and Anna Mattirolo, which traveled from Maxxi to Villa Reale in Monza and then to NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale until June 19. A key factor in this revival is the appointment of Diego Piacentini as Italy's commissioner for digital innovation, a role he serves without compensation. Piacentini, a top global manager, received public support from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. His approach emphasizes innovative thinking, transparency, long-term vision, and customer focus. Meanwhile, Milan's new mayor Giuseppe Sala appointed Roberta Cocco, a Microsoft executive, as assessor for Digital Transformation. The article also promotes Artribune's newsletters: Incanti (art market), Render (urban regeneration), and PAX (cultural tourism).
