The Other Economy: Italy is beautiful on the inside, stories of resilience, innovation, and return in the internal areas
the MILAN - Exits for Altreconomia “Italy is beautiful on the inside”, a book that tells the story of a Country unexpected, that of the "internal areas": Luca Martinelli is the narrator of this Italy away from the big city, which is considered marginal (often fragile) but at the same time surprisingly deep and is a carrier of innovation, which finds the strengths and resources but where, apparently, there is only abandonment.

Return entry to the 5,000 Municipalities. This book returns voice and value to the territories where, in more than 5,000 Municipalities, live 12 million people, telling about the forms of resistance (or “restanza”) and return, a phenomenon that involves the Alps and the Apennines. In the internal areas, it produces 2/3 of the value of ecosystem services, the resources that ecosystems produce (oxygen, water, food, etc) for the needs of human society, that according to reliable estimates at the national level worth € 93 billion a year, almost 5% of GDP.

Essential access to essential services. To prevent the abandonment and promote the “return” in the internal areas, it is necessary to ensure that those living in the territories at the margin and in small and very small Communes have access to essential services of citizenship, such as health centers, schools, transport, digital innovation, and other features “community”. Without this process it is impossible to "riabitarli" and, therefore, jump over the the care and protection of the rural heritage and landscape of the “green infrastructure” such as forests, as well as the protection of traditional knowledge.

strategies for the internal areas. Is the mission - for example - of the National Strategy for Inland Areas (SNAI) of the presidency of the Council of ministers and of other initiatives, even private, as the intersectoral plan "AttivAree", the Cariplo Foundation, or the work of the Associations of the land, of which the book makes account. The experience of the SNAI is dedicated in particular a long interview that involves Fabrizio Barca, in addition to John Carrosio, Daniela Luisi and Filippo Tantillo.

The stories of those who return . Not events of the heroic but often specimens: the choices of ordinary people who want to explore new styles of life and business, transforming the traditions in crafts today, and first of all an agriculture that finds the alliance between man and nature. Stories of riabitanti, resistant, returning, from the Val Borbera, Val Trompia and Val Sabbia, in the Apennines of Rieti to the Irpinia and the Monti Dauni. There is one who rediscovers the ancient vines or ancient grains and traditional, who creates a new "supply chain of the forest" who opens a museum of the territory and who becomes a "hospitable community".

The reminder of the inequalities in the territory. inequalities, territorial fight, first of all, in applying article 3 of the Constitution. Explains Fabrizio Barca, coordinator of the Forum, inequalities and diversity, and the creator of the National Strategy for Inland Areas: “and it will return the desire for the young and not young people who are showing the desire to stay in these places, you must provide a reason to stay. First of all, reduce their social exclusion: from a quality school, a health dignified, from the cover with the broadband, from a transport the hard fact of the large bus useless in these territories, by the credit [...]. And exclusion, and finally, also from the earth, rendered inaccessible to potential young farmers. What do you do then? There is by implementing article 3 of the Constitution, to remove these obstacles, so as to reduce inequalities [...] allowing – rather than leave – those who live in these territories posters of their business ideas”.
