A collection of journalistic articles on major entrepreneurial successes in the Belluno Dolomites, a region that, like all mountainous areas in Italy, is at risk of depopulation. "Work in the Mountains (and Beyond)," a book by journalist Stefano Vietina, chronicles small and large businesses of excellence in every economic sector.
A native of Lucca but Veneto by adoption, Stefano Vietina is intimately familiar with the dynamics of entrepreneurship and employment in mountainous areas such as Comelico and Cadore. With his journalistic experience, he has seen firsthand the challenges but also the opportunities that the mountains can offer, and he illustrates the possibilities for combating depopulation in inland areas, a phenomenon that has been deeply rooted and consolidated throughout Italy for decades.
