my name is ITALIA
2 L'Italia viene spesso citata come un esempio negativo, un Paese più vicino al terzo mondo che all'Europa. All'estero l'Italia viene spesso descritta solo attraverso indicatori economici negativi: il debito pubblico, il deficit, il basso livello di competitività. Nelle pagine internet sono numerosi i commenti di apprezzamento ma anche di disprezzo; l'Italia viene raccontata come un Paese arretrato e ridicolo. Eppure è uno dei Paesi più avanzati, la cui influenza cuturale nel mondo è iniziata ben 2000 anni fa. Un Paese ricchissimo di storia, arte, tradizioni ma anche di ricerche scientifiche e tecnologiche molto avanzate; conosciuto per i rapporti umani, familiari e di aiuto ai bisognosi, oltre che per il mantenimento della buona salute dei suoi cittadini. Non è un Paese perfetto, ma quale lo è? I Paesi che si vantano, con ingiustificata arroganza, di essere migliori, in realtà nascondo problemi anche peggiori e globalmente sono dietro a noi. In alcuni casi i loro pregiudizi sono basati su errati dati statistici. I dati qui raccolti dimostrano che l'Italia è tra le prime nazioni se non la prima, in molti campi. Spesso però queste informazioni sono difficili da reperire o non adeguatamente divulgate, con il risultato che gli stessi italiani cominciano a credere ai commenti negativi. Gli italiani sono i maggiori critici del loro Paese, più di quanto facciano gli stranieri. Questo documento, mostrando alcuni punti di forza del nostro Paese, vuole dare anche un aiuto agli italiani che si trovano in difficoltà quando devono rispondere a commenti denigratori sul loro Paese. Speriamo che le informazioni fornite possano anche contribuire a modificare la percezione, che si ha nel mondo, dell'Italia
3 Italy is often cited as a negative example, as an underdeveloped country. In the international community, Italy is often described, only on the basis of negative indicators: the public debt, the low level of competitiveness, the nominal budget deficit. On the internet pages there are numerous comments of appreciation but also of contempt; Italy is told as a backward and ridiculous country. Yet it is one of the most advanced countries, whose cutural influence in the world began more than 2000 years ago. A country rich in history, art, traditions but also in scientific and technological research, always known for his traditions, lifestyle and for maintaining the health of its citizens. No, it's not perfect but what country really is? The countries that boast, with unjustified arrogance, to be better, in reality hide problems even worse and globally are behind us. In some case their prejudice is based only on not correct statistical data. The data collected here show that Italy is among the top countries, if not the first, in many fields. Often, however, these information are difficult to find or not adequately disclosed, with the result that Italians themselves begin to believe to the negative comments. Italians are the biggest critics of their country, more than foreigners do. This document, showing some strengths of our country, also wants to help Italians who find themselves in difficulty when they have to respond to derogatory comments on their country. We hope that the information provided can also contribute to delete some fake news and change the perception of Italia in the world.

9 Cultural Influence Cultural influence Countries that command cultural influence are often synonymous with fine food, fashion and easy living. They are trendsetters – the country equivalent of the cooler, older sibling. Their products have that certain “je ne sais quoi” that makes them fly a little faster off the shelves. Their music, television and movies are absorbed by other cultures, becoming part of a wider global conversation. The 2018 Best Countries rankings, formed in partnership with global marketing communications company Y&R's brand strategy firm, BAV Group, and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, are based on a survey that asked more than 21,000 people from four regions to associate 80 countries with specific characteristics.

Italian researchers unveiled a new robotic hand they say allows users to grip objects more naturally and features a design that will lower the price significantly. The Hennes robotic hand has a simpler mechanical design compared with other such myoelectric prosthetics, characterized by sensors that react to electrical signals from the brain to the muscles. He helped develop the hand in a lab backed by the Italian Institute of Technology and the INAIL state workers' compensation prosthetic center. The Hennes has only one motor that controls all five fingers, making it lighter, cheaper and more able to adapt to the shape of objects.

The Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules (MPLM) Leonardo, Raffaello and Donatello – the names of which allow for no mistake regarding their country of origin – have been contributed by Italy directly to the Space Station programme through a bilateral agreement between ASI and NASA.

When a country's current account balance is positive (also known as incurring a surplus), the country is a net lender to the rest of the world. When a country's current account balance is negative (also known as running a deficit), the country is a net borrower from the rest of the world. international competitiveness Source: https://www.focus-economics.com/economic-indicator/current-account-balance https://data.oecd.org/trade/current-account-balance.htm OECD (2018), Current account balance (indicator). doi: 10.1787/b2f74f3a-en (Accessed on 15 September 2018) Negative: Positive

62 Total State aid expenditure as % of GDP in 2016, less railways State aid State aid means action by a (national, regional or local) public authority, using public resources, to favour certain undertakings or the production of certain goods. A business that benefits from such aid thus enjoys an advantage over its competitors. Aid granted selectively by EU countries or through state resources and which may affect trade between EU countries or distort competition is prohibited under Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Aid may be permitted if justified by objectives of general interest: aid to promote the development of disadvantaged areas or for services of general economic interest, small and medium-sized enterprises, research and development, environmental protection, training, employment and culture. EU countries must notify the European Commission of the aids that they grant - except in certain specified instances. Under Article 108 TFEU, the European Commission has the task of keeping under review state aid granted by EU countries, whether planned or already operational, so as to ensure that it does not distort competition.

63 A bank stress test is an analysis conducted under hypothetical unfavorable economic scenarios, such as a deep recession or financial crisis, designed to determine whether a bank has enough capital to withstand the impact of adverse economic developments. The  most  important  shocks of the EU adverse scenario would lead to: - Cumulative fall in GDP over 3 years by 2.7%; - Unemployment reaches in 2020 by 9.7%; - Cumulative inflation over 3 years stands at 1.7%;  Cumulative fall in residential and  commercial real estate prices over 3 years  of 19.1%  and 20%  respectively. Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) is a component of Tier 1 capital that consists mostly of common stock held by a bank or other financial institution. CET1 is a measure of bank solvency that gauges a bank’s capital strength. This measure is better captured by the CET1 ratio, which measures a bank’s capital against its assets.

70 The true measure of a Country’s attractiveness The strategic management of a 'pro-business' country-image and the positioning of a country in international competitiveness rankings, are key issues for development and growth. In 2016 the European House - Ambrosetti in conjunction with ABB, Toyota Material Handling Europe and Unilever, launched the initiative titled "Global Attractiveness Index" with a view to providing Italian and international decision-makers with an innovative and reliable index of attractiveness. The index would offer a well-defined representation of a country's attractiveness and sustainability, while at the same time providing reliable information regarding the choices in terms of attractiveness, growth and the enhancement of a pro-business environment.

Reputation has an unquestionable economic value to countries. It is based on emotion and reason, the product of our impressions of a nation’s actions and its communications, as well as our deep-seated perceptions, stereotypes, influences and direct experiences. In an age of empowered, networked publics, the value of a country’s reputation is rising — as is the importance of managing it as one of its greatest assets. Strong reputations create economic opportunities. Respondents who perceive a country as having a strong reputation state a greater willingness to visit it for business or leisure, or to recommend living in, working in, investing in, studying in, or buying products from, that country. Reputation is both internal and external — and big gaps mean big blind spots. Source: http://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/july-2017/what-gives-a-nation-a- great-reputation

75 Italian-American stereotyping Since the early decades of the 20th century, Italian Americans have been portrayed with stereotypical characterizations. Italian Americans in contemporary U.S. society have actively objected to pervasive negative stereotyping in the mass media. Stereotyping of Italian-Americans as being associated with organized crime has been a consistent feature of movies, such as The Godfather (all three works in the series), GoodFellas and Casino, and TV programs such as The Sopranos. Such stereotypes of Italian Americans are reinforced by the frequent replay of these movies and series on cable and network TV. Video and board games, and TV and radio commercials with themes also reinforce this stereotype. The entertainment media has stereotyped the Italian American community as tolerant of violent, sociopathic gangsters. Other stereotypes portray Italian Americans as overly aggressive and prone to violence. MTV's series Jersey Shore was considered offensive by the Italian-American group UNICO. A comprehensive study of Italian-American culture on film, conducted from 1996 to 2001, by the Italic Institute of America, revealed the extent of stereotyping in media. More than two-thirds of the 2,000 films assessed in the study portray Italian Americans in a negative light. Nearly 300 films featuring Italian Americans as mobsters have been produced since The Godfather (1972), an average of nine per year. According to the Italic Institute of America: The mass media has consistently ignored five centuries of Italian American history, and has elevated what was never more than a minute subculture to the dominant Italian American culture. According to recent FBI statistics, Italian-American organized crime members and associates number approximately 3,000. Given an Italian- American population estimated to be approximately 18 million, the study concludes that only one in 6,000 has any involvement with organized crime.

My name is italia

    2 L'Italia viene spessocitata come un esempio negativo, un Paese più vicino al terzo mondo che all'Europa. All'estero l'Italia viene spesso descritta solo attraverso indicatori economici negativi: il debito pubblico, il deficit, il basso livello di competitività. Nelle pagine internet sono numerosi i commenti di apprezzamento ma anche di disprezzo; l'Italia viene raccontata come un Paese arretrato e ridicolo. Eppure è uno dei Paesi più avanzati, la cui influenza cuturale nel mondo è iniziata ben 2000 anni fa. Un Paese ricchissimo di storia, arte, tradizioni ma anche di ricerche scientifiche e tecnologiche molto avanzate; conosciuto per i rapporti umani, familiari e di aiuto ai bisognosi, oltre che per il mantenimento della buona salute dei suoi cittadini. Non è un Paese perfetto, ma quale lo è? I Paesi che si vantano, con ingiustificata arroganza, di essere migliori, in realtà nascondo problemi anche peggiori e globalmente sono dietro a noi. In alcuni casi i loro pregiudizi sono basati su errati dati statistici. I dati qui raccolti dimostrano che l'Italia è tra le prime nazioni se non la prima, in molti campi. Spesso però queste informazioni sono difficili da reperire o non adeguatamente divulgate, con il risultato che gli stessi italiani cominciano a credere ai commenti negativi. Gli italiani sono i maggiori critici del loro Paese, più di quanto facciano gli stranieri. Questo documento, mostrando alcuni punti di forza del nostro Paese, vuole dare anche un aiuto agli italiani che si trovano in difficoltà quando devono rispondere a commenti denigratori sul loro Paese. Speriamo che le informazioni fornite possano anche contribuire a modificare la percezione, che si ha nel mondo, dell'Italia

    3 Italy is oftencited as a negative example, as an underdeveloped country. In the international community, Italy is often described, only on the basis of negative indicators: the public debt, the low level of competitiveness, the nominal budget deficit. On the internet pages there are numerous comments of appreciation but also of contempt; Italy is told as a backward and ridiculous country. Yet it is one of the most advanced countries, whose cutural influence in the world began more than 2000 years ago. A country rich in history, art, traditions but also in scientific and technological research, always known for his traditions, lifestyle and for maintaining the health of its citizens. No, it's not perfect but what country really is? The countries that boast, with unjustified arrogance, to be better, in reality hide problems even worse and globally are behind us. In some case their prejudice is based only on not correct statistical data. The data collected here show that Italy is among the top countries, if not the first, in many fields. Often, however, these information are difficult to find or not adequately disclosed, with the result that Italians themselves begin to believe to the negative comments. Italians are the biggest critics of their country, more than foreigners do. This document, showing some strengths of our country, also wants to help Italians who find themselves in difficulty when they have to respond to derogatory comments on their country. We hope that the information provided can also contribute to delete some fake news and change the perception of Italia in the world.

    9 Cultural Influence Cultural influence Countriesthat command cultural influence are often synonymous with fine food, fashion and easy living. They are trendsetters – the country equivalent of the cooler, older sibling. Their products have that certain “je ne sais quoi” that makes them fly a little faster off the shelves. Their music, television and movies are absorbed by other cultures, becoming part of a wider global conversation. The 2018 Best Countries rankings, formed in partnership with global marketing communications company Y&R's brand strategy firm, BAV Group, and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, are based on a survey that asked more than 21,000 people from four regions to associate 80 countries with specific characteristics.

    17 The Italian Paradox Statisticson scientific research in Italy reveal a striking contradiction. While the country's R&D resources significantly lag behind those of other major economies, its output, in terms of scientific publications, is not only one of the most prolific in the world, but also highly recognized in several fields.

It has 53 motors that move the head, arms & hands, waist, and legs. It can see and hear, it has the sense of proprioception (body configuration) and movement (using accelerometers and gyroscopes). Source: http://icub.org/index.php http://www.iit.it/ Robotc Hand Italian researchers develop lighter, cheaper robotic hand. Italian researchers unveiled a new robotic hand they say allows users to grip objects more naturally and features a design that will lower the price significantly. The Hennes robotic hand has a simpler mechanical design compared with other such myoelectric prosthetics, characterized by sensors that react to electrical signals from the brain to the muscles. He helped develop the hand in a lab backed by the Italian Institute of Technology and the INAIL state workers' compensation prosthetic center. The Hennes has only one motor that controls all five fingers, making it lighter, cheaper and more able to adapt to the shape of objects.

The Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules (MPLM) Leonardo, Raffaello and Donatello – the names of which allow for no mistake regarding their country of origin – have been contributed by Italy directly to the Space Station programme through a bilateral agreement between ASI and NASA. Their development is a tribute to the expertise of Italy’s technology industry, a fact confirmed by an NASA/ESA agreement to produce other European elements of the Space Station (Nodes 2 and 3) in Italy in exchange for NASA’s launch of the Columbus Laboratory on the Space Shuttle.

A business that benefits from such aid thus enjoys an advantage over its competitors. Aid granted selectively by EU countries or through state resources and which may affect trade between EU countries or distort competition is prohibited under Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Aid may be permitted if justified by objectives of general interest: aid to promote the development of disadvantaged areas or for services of general economic interest, small and medium-sized enterprises, research and development, environmental protection, training, employment and culture. EU countries must notify the European Commission of the aids that they grant - except in certain specified instances. Under Article 108 TFEU, the European Commission has the task of keeping under review state aid granted by EU countries, whether planned or already operational, so as to ensure that it does not distort competition.

The  most  important  shocks of the EU adverse scenario would lead to: - Cumulative fall in GDP over 3 years by 2.7%; - Unemployment reaches in 2020 by 9.7%; - Cumulative inflation over 3 years stands at 1.7%;  Cumulative fall in residential and  commercial real estate prices over 3 years  of 19.1%  and 20%  respectively. Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) is a component of Tier 1 capital that consists mostly of common stock held by a bank or other financial institution.

    70 The true measureof a Country’s attractiveness The strategic management of a 'pro-business' country-image and the positioning of a country in international competitiveness rankings, are key issues for development and growth. In 2016 the European House - Ambrosetti in conjunction with ABB, Toyota Material Handling Europe and Unilever, launched the initiative titled "Global Attractiveness Index" with a view to providing Italian and international decision-makers with an innovative and reliable index of attractiveness. The index would offer a well-defined representation of a country's attractiveness and sustainability, while at the same time providing reliable information regarding the choices in terms of attractiveness, growth and the enhancement of a pro-business environment.

    73 How Country Reputationaffects investment attraction Effective government is the key-driver in boosting Italy reputation and the increasing perception of Italy’s Government effectiveness will affect the investment attraction: +5pt in Effective Government perception = +8,7% in propensity to invest in Italy Source: http://www.febaf.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Ventoruzzo.pdf What gives a nation a great reputation? Reputation has an unquestionable economic value to countries. It is based on emotion and reason, the product of our impressions of a nation’s actions and its communications, as well as our deep-seated perceptions, stereotypes, influences and direct experiences. In an age of empowered, networked publics, the value of a country’s reputation is rising — as is the importance of managing it as one of its greatest assets. Strong reputations create economic opportunities. Respondents who perceive a country as having a strong reputation state a greater willingness to visit it for business or leisure, or to recommend living in, working in, investing in, studying in, or buying products from, that country. Reputation is both internal and external — and big gaps mean big blind spots. Source: http://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/july-2017/what-gives-a-nation-a- great-reputation

    75 Italian-American stereotyping Since theearly decades of the 20th century, Italian Americans have been portrayed with stereotypical characterizations. Italian Americans in contemporary U.S. society have actively objected to pervasive negative stereotyping in the mass media. Stereotyping of Italian-Americans as being associated with organized crime has been a consistent feature of movies, such as The Godfather (all three works in the series), GoodFellas and Casino, and TV programs such as The Sopranos. Such stereotypes of Italian Americans are reinforced by the frequent replay of these movies and series on cable and network TV. Video and board games, and TV and radio commercials with themes also reinforce this stereotype. The entertainment media has stereotyped the Italian American community as tolerant of violent, sociopathic gangsters. Other stereotypes portray Italian Americans as overly aggressive and prone to violence. MTV's series Jersey Shore was considered offensive by the Italian-American group UNICO. A comprehensive study of Italian-American culture on film, conducted from 1996 to 2001, by the Italic Institute of America, revealed the extent of stereotyping in media. More than two-thirds of the 2,000 films assessed in the study portray Italian Americans in a negative light. Nearly 300 films featuring Italian Americans as mobsters have been produced since The Godfather (1972), an average of nine per year. According to the Italic Institute of America: The mass media has consistently ignored five centuries of Italian American history, and has elevated what was never more than a minute subculture to the dominant Italian American culture. According to recent FBI statistics, Italian-American organized crime members and associates number approximately 3,000. Given an Italian- American population estimated to be approximately 18 million, the study concludes that only one in 6,000 has any involvement with organized crime. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Italianism Today there are over 26 million Americans of Italian descent in the United States, Source: https://italialiving.com/articles/lifestyle/national-italian-american-heritage-month The article What do you know about Reality? Says “The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that less than .0025 percent of the 26 million Americans of Italian descent are involved in organized crime.” Source: http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/LOTARDO
