Italy is sometimes described as a country shaped like a boot and features some of the most breathtaking, varied, and varied scenery on Earth. The lofty Apennine Range rises from the focal Alps and runs the entire length of the country. It expands around Rome to almost completely encircle the Italian peninsula. Much of the lower Apennine chain remains near wild status, providing habitat to a variety of animal species rarely seen elsewhere in western Europe, such as bears, wolves, asps, and wild hogs.
The mechanical triangle of Italy—Milan, Turin, and Genoa—is ideally located near other wealthy regions, such as the Rhone-Alpes and the Rhine-Ruhr area, which is the hub of heavy industry in Europe. Similarly, as the EU has increasingly reached out and absorbed former Eastern Bloc countries, Italy has moved from being on the southern periphery of the Union to becoming involved in its center. Although Italy’s territory primarily borders the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas, it also shares its periphery with Switzerland, France, Austria, and Slovenia. In addition, it is isolated from Greece and all the earlier people from Yugoslavia by a brief ship voyage. Eventually, a project to build a railroad and highway connecting Western Europe to the Balkan Peninsula will position Italy at the center of modern Europe, making it a fantastic place to collaborate.
During the last three months of 2009, the gross domestic product fell by 0.2%, but there are signs of recovery. Italy is able to rely on a remarkable combination of a small number of very large companies that receive regular assistance from the Italian government (such as the car manufacturer FIAT and the media communications group Telecom Italia) and a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), usually family-run, that produce high-quality consumer goods.
The combination of government-sponsored groups on the one hand and community organizations on the other has given rise to an intriguing financial milieu, the intricacies of which are hard to grasp without access to intimate knowledge. The comprehensive mindfulness training course, Doing Business in Italy, offered by CommunicAsia provides the tools to face the social obstacles that any firm operating in Italy is likely to encounter, as well as systems from individuals with extensive experience residing and working in the country.
