TV roles for Tuscan tanners

21/02/2018
Italy’s Santa Croce sull'Arno tanning district will feature on two Italian TV programmes at the end of February, promoting the importance of the industry to the region, and the country.

The first, a documentary exploring "made in Italy and relocation", will highlight companies in the leather sector that have reshored investment to Italy. Footwear makers and tanners were interviewed about how training and cooperation with local schools promotes the high levels of employment for young people in the sector. 

A second programme will be aired on news channel RAI telling the story of "sacrifices and successes" of Tuscan tanning, with its entrepreneurs managing to overcome the most difficult times of the financial crisis due to farsighted policies and a willingness to invest, to overcome the challenges of a fast-changing market.
