In this episode, we explore how Florence transformed its rich artistic heritage into a powerful economic engine. Drawing from the concept of cultural, artistic, and environmental heritage (CAEH), we discuss how the city’s art ecosystem—from restoration workshops to museums—fosters innovation, attracts investment, and boosts economic growth. We compare Florence’s cultural district to a “Silicon Valley for art,” where specialized networks of artists and artisans have built a global reputation. This episode highlights how managing art as a living, evolving ecosystem shapes both the past and the future. Reflections on Lazzeretti's Art Cities.
