   Differentiated autonomy, visions compared

   While the bill on differentiated autonomy is being debated in the Chamber of Deputies, at the Festival dell'Economia Emilia Patta, journalist for Il Sole 24 Ore, spoke with the President of the Autonomous Province of Trento and the President of the Region of Tuscany. Two very different perspectives - an Autonomous Province and an Ordinary Region - for an issue that does not directly affect Trentino, but with respect to which the Province has in any case set up a parallel path with the State. A convergence emerged from the dialogue at the Palazzo della Provincia on the importance of the self-government of the territories, but there were different evaluations of the system currently being examined by Parliament.

   Sondrio for children, Gorizia for young people and Trento for the elderly. It is these three Italian provinces that guarantee a better quality of life for their respective age groups.

All three indices will feed into the 35th edition of the Sole 24 Ore Quality of Life survey at the end of the year.

   Disability Reform, a revolution

   The reform on disability represents a real revolution, but in order to work it needs a systemic vision capable of overcoming the fragmentation of interventions and an authentic synergy among all the actors involved at a central and territorial level. At the centre of the debate, at the Festival of Economics, is the organic reform of the system of recognition of the condition of disability, of support for independent living, and of the measures for the protection and promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities, which will come into force through an experimental process starting in January 2025 in 9 provinces. The discussion on the novelties of this reform took place at the Regional Palace with the moderation of Monica D'Ascenzo, journalist for Il Sole 24 Ore.

    Climate change, catastrophic risks and insurance

    Climate change and the resulting risks of catastrophes also have an impact on the insurance system: This was discussed this afternoon on the last day of the Trento Festival of Economics, with Alessandro Molinari , Managing Director and General Manager of Itas Mutua, Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, Commander of COVI, Summit Command of the Italian Defence Interforce Operational Area, and Maria Chiara Zaganelli, General Manager of ISMEA, Institute of Services for the Agricultural Food Market, moderated by Laura Galvagni, Journalist of 'Il Sole 24 Ore'.
    The topic is highly topical considering that, according to some estimates, the impact of climate change could cost up to 12% of GDP. This shows how important the issue of catastrophic risks is. Italy, for its part, is a country where seismic and hydrogeological risks are known to be very present. On the one hand, therefore, action must be stepped up on the forecasting and prevention fronts; on the other, the development of a broad and widespread insurance culture is fundamental, particularly, as far as today's panel is concerned, in the agricultural sector.

    Quo vadis culture? Towards a business perspective

    There are two great pillars of Italian culture that hold Italy together, according to the Minister of Culture, speaking at the Trento Festival of Economics: museums and publishing. Considering our country as a super power, not in the geopolitical sense, but in the historical sense, culture also becomes an opportunity for socio-economic development. In order to do this, we need, on the one hand, the valorisation of heritage, and on the other a competitive and entrepreneurial outlook, which looks both at the digitalisation of assets (one of which is publishing), and at a managerial management of cultural spaces: museums in primis, for the Minister, thus become true companies, capable of generating a profit with spin-offs in terms of industrial chain and employment, but also redistributable in terms of internal solidarity.

    The supercomputers that are changing our lives

    What is supercomputing? To get an idea, just think that a supercomputer can perform 600 million billion complex mathematical operations per second. These systems are organised in tens of racks, thousands of computing nodes, tens of thousands of GPUs. From the point of view of energy consumption, the maximum power consumption can reach 10 MVA. At the Trento Economics Festival a discussion on the state of the art and prospects with academics and cutting-edge companies, with a message for Italy and Europe: invest more in training, research and technology transfer.

    Tax reform: pay all for pay less

    The 'redditometro' no longer exists and the mechanism that cross-references expenses with declared income to identify tax evasion should no longer be called that. This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Economy and Finance during the Trento Festival of Economics. The new mechanism, introduced in 2018, aims to protect honest taxpayers and identify big tax evaders, respecting the indications of the Privacy Guarantor and Istat rules. He also highlighted the need to reform IRPEF rates to counter the impoverishment of the middle class.
    During the meeting, Lilia Cavallari, president of the Parliamentary Budget Office, discussed the impact of the reform on the state budget, and Federico Maurizio d'Andrea, president of Banco BPM's Supervisory Board, emphasised the importance of fiscal justice to rebalance the public budget. Technology and traceability will be key to the success of tax reform.

    The new legal framework of the Third Sector

    The great crisis of resources and the complexity of new needs make it necessary to redesign a new welfare model. A welfare for all and not tailor-made for those who can afford it. In this context, the Third Sector has a fundamental role in contributing to the full guarantee of social rights, in accordance with the constitutional principle of subsidiarity. Imagining a new welfare model, which sees an integrated public and private commitment, is one of the crucial challenges for Trento European Volunteer Capital 2024. At the Itas Forum, promoted by the Municipality of Trento in collaboration with the organisation of the Festival of Economics, the focus "Rethinking Welfare through Public-Private Partnerships" opened new stimuli for dialogue.

    The importance of co-operatives in facing the challenges of a changing music world

    There are more than 43,000 people in Italy today who live, or try to live, from music for a sector that is decidedly healthy but at the same time faces a number of problems in a context of continuous and swirling change. From this perspective, one challenge is the one thrown down, even in our country, by the cooperative model to the recording industry. This was discussed this morning at the Festival dell'Economia in Trento during the meeting "Ethics and Economics in the Music Business" involving Francesca Martinelli, director of the Fondazione Centro Studi Doc, Andrea Ponzoni, ceo of Freecom Hub and Omar Pedrini, an important figure in Italian rock music, first with the band Timoria and then in the guise of singer-songwriter and TV author.

    Unity, the only way in our time

    At the Festival dell'Economia in Trento, the deputy director of Tg5, Giuseppe De Filippi, interviewed the president of the Foreign and Community Affairs Commission of the Chamber of Deputies. The similarities between the times we live in and those experienced in the middle of the past millennium are emblematic. Today, democracy remains the cornerstone of Europe, because with democracy, we have the freedom that is the basis for development. But if our democracy seems to be in crisis, it is even more important to go and vote today for a Europe that demands common security and defence. A Europe that, after various phases, not exactly extraordinary, is finally going in the right direction.
