Domenico Sturabotti, architect, landscape architect, is editor of numerous researches on the strengths of Italian industry, the relationship between green economy and manufacturing, and the relationship between cohesive dynamics and competitiveness. Since 2004 he has been director of the Symbola Foundation, where he has investigated and deepened studies on the qualification processes of Made in Italy, analyzing its internationalization paths.

Symbola is the foundation that promotes and brings together Italian Qualities. Through research, events and projects it chronicles companies, associations and institutions that focus on innovation, beauty, human capital and territory, generating an economy on a human scale, more resilient and competitive: a vision of economy and society summarized in the Assisi Manifesto.
For over fifteen years it has been analyzing the relationship between green economy, creativity, social cohesion and competitiveness-in terms of employment, turnover and exports-demonstrating, through reports, a strong correlation between these factors. However, this beautiful and passionate Italy, which excels in the world in many sectors, is still little known and needs to be told in order to continue to live and grow. For this reason, Symbola, since its inception, has flanked its study activities with a strong commitment in terms of communication and promotion of Made in Italy Qualities, both through the Foundation’s communication channels and with the main national media.
