In Italy, the Italian Handicrafts and Agricultural Industry Chambers of Commerce are “public organisations that fulfil a role of general interest for the business system, managing the development of the local economies sector.” The Catania Chamber of Commerce, as a Public Organisation, carries out tasks of interest for the business systems of the province of Catania. It launches initiatives in favour of entrepreneurial training, credit access on behalf of the businesses, innovation and transfer of technologies, the promotion of the diffusion of electronic commerce, environmental protection in the exercising of business activity, development of infrastructures and evaluation of territory resources, and the promotion – also by means of incentives – of the internationalisation of its businesses, and typical products of the province’s territory.
Etna Quality is the virtual showroom of the province of Catania, realised by the Chamber of Commerce of Catania and hosted in its institutional website. From agricultural-foodstuffs to the artisan, it presents all products, which with globalisation and de-individualisation become compressed and, at times, even forgotten to the point of disappearing from the market and memory. Savoury tastes and fragrances, but also colours, shapes and hospitality that have made this land what it is.
A land where every corner has something to offer to anyone still able to discover.
An impetuous and unpredictable land, like the Etna that dominates it with violence, but also with gentleness.
A land of a thousand contrasts.
A land which owes to all of this, not only its own uniqueness, but also its extraordinary people, who each day fight to master it. These are the reasons why that which is produced in the shadow of Etna is always a unique and unrepeatable work.
