Triangolo industriale Info
- This name is given to the northwestern part of Italy, a triangle with its points in the cities of Milan, Turin and Genoa, where the development of modern industry began at the end of the 19th century. It was the major Italian production centre and led to mass internal immigration from the south, especially between the 1950s and 1970s. The subsequent decline of large industry, which principally affected Turin and Genoa, has transformed the “Industrial triangle” into a northwest where small and medium-sized industries and the service sector now predominate. Other models for strong development have emerged, particularly in the Veneto.
