Italy is considered as one of the most beautiful,
artistically and culturally rich countries, in the whole world. This,
when combined with the presence of a variety of receptive structures of
every type and category, makes us unique. Foreign tourists consider this
an irresistible combination and visit our artistic cities year-round,
crowd our beaches during the summer months, and our mountain areas
during the winter ones. Promotion Italy wants to be a guide for those
who would like to know this country better, region by region, under
every aspect, from the north to the south of this peninsula. On

Italy has always been a country of first-rate
business men, capable of promoting the Made in Italy brands throughout
the world, showing what quality is by presenting unique and well cured
products creating original designs made with primary materials of
exceptionally high quality. Globalization and the strong competition of
the Asiatic countries, although it is considerable, don't worry us too
much, at least when speaking of high quality products, since these
countries invade the markets with a great quantity of products, but all
of very low quality under every point of view. Promotion Italy intends
to give the correct visibility to Italian businesses and their best
products. On Promotion Italy you will find tons of information regarding
Italian businesses, pieces of information for their visibility and their
presence on the net.
Italy is one of the most industrialized countries in
the world, even though after
passing to the single European currency,
the Euro, and the sad events of the 11th of September, we have lost part
of our competitiveness. After a confusing and uncertain period we are
newly getting on the right track for a solid economic pick-up. The
elevated quality of our products helps us in this process, although we
are still penalized by the high costs of man labour compared to some
other emerging countries such as China. There are some signs of an
improvement for our industry and if our country recuperates
competitiveness, our country will be able to take back its place in the
international industrial scene. On Promotion Italy you will find
information regarding industry in Italy, tendencies and which are the
most productive sectors.
A very important sector for our country is businesses
services. With computerization,
our businesses have a greater need of
other businesses which can handle their services, increasing the number
and the specialization of these types of agencies. These agencies are
specialized in telecommunications, cleaning and disinfections,
co-operative and municipal societies, besides service agencies for
tourism, a very important sector for our economy, reason why it is
becoming a focus point of the operators of this sector. Look on
Promotion Italy for information on all Italian businesses.
Agriculture in Italy has always been an important
sector and the conformation of our
country grants us the possibility to
grow and obtain many typical delicious products which can't be
reproduced likewise in other parts of the world, even though many
producers in other countries have tried to do so repeatedly. Our
agricultural productions are among the healthiest and most controlled in
the world, guaranteed by severe laws and continuous controls in the
production factories. Italy, being a country favoured by its climate and
good water resources, grows a great variety of fruits and vegetables.
Promotion Italy gives you information on Italian agriculture and the
most requested products.
