Abstract

The paper has the intention to open a thinking space for the complexity of the scenarios in the current Italian manufacture: promoters of Italian excellence on one side and places for theoretical debate over the wide mutations we are living on the other. The evolution of the industry 4.0 allows us to reconsider methodologies and resources to keep our heritage of beauty and practical knowledge alive and thriving. The study moves through a theoretical framework where we encounter the strong necessity for digital and technological evolution, as well as the stewardship for the figure of the artisan, a skillful identity who enriches the meaning of our projectuality through their mastery and handcraft. The Made in Italy concept functions then as a catalyst for study and consideration, launching a discussion that is just complex as it is necessary.
