A press release by Coldiretti announced that spaceswill be set up to represent the great diversification inItalian agricultural practices through the stories and faces ofthe protagonists, who will illustrate their experience. Itoffers the chance to grasp first-hand the revolution currentlyunder way in Italian rural areas where agricultural activitieshave given rise to new business and job opportunities rangingfrom 'agri-wellness' to fashion, from agri-data to countrywedding planners and social farms, in addition to witnessingthe comeback of old trades such as coal merchants or linen orsilk spinners and the use of new technologies such as drones.In Italy however there are also people growing bananas,avocados, passion fruits, bamboo and peanuts or successfullyproducing Made in Italy caviar or introducing specific crops tomeet the taste of immigrants.
