“…The rising demand, even foreign, of Italian wine resulted into a strong increase in recent decades [35]. The growing devotion that wine sector dedicates on quality allowed to create a reference point for data and analysis of the Italian wine heritage [52,53], which boasts 523 protected products with designation of origin (PDO) and protected geographical indication (PGI) ( Figure 1 and Table 1). …”

Sustainability is often explained through three dimensions (society, economy and environment). However, such a definition currently appears to be restricted. Sustainable development often includes the energy issue. An example of realities founded on bioenergy are agro-energy districts. These realities involve all the three dimensions of sustainability, integrating also the energy dimension and fueling a potential circular economy. Based on these premises, the most affluent rural subdivision in Italy is that of wine. The wine sector has experienced a recent growth of its economic market, diverging from other agricultural activities and enlarging its cultivated surface areas. In this sense, the local landscape has also changed. Owing to the strong inclination of the wine sector in adopting sustainable strategies and measures, agro-energy districts can be the following future phase in viticulture realities as a cutting-edge business in the modern agricultural sector, implementing new strategies and opportunities.

“…First, the SMEs better represent the current “reincarnation” of handicraft producers from the past: for example, it is almost impossible to distinguish between micro-firms (that is, enterprises with less than ten employees) and artisan firms (Longoni and Rinaldi, 2008; Schilirò, 2017); second, SMEs constitute a large part of the Italian industrial structure (calculations based on Italian National Institute of Statistics [ISTAT] data). Thus, it is possible to affirm that: Italian SMEs, especially when embedded in industrial districts, are the pillars of the success of “Made in Italy” (Fortis, 2007; Fortis, 2016) and that, always with reference to “Made in Italy”; and small is (still) beautiful, not as an antidote (Schumacher, 1973) but as a competitive factor. …”

Purpose This study aims to analyze the territory as a distinctive factor through which the concept and practice of “Made in Italy” operates. Specifically, the study considers the role of local and sub-national entrepreneurial collaborations that preserve and enhance factors such as history, style and talent as the essence of Italian “quality” and as the pillar of Italian territorial capitalism. Design/methodology/approach The research examines this Italian phenomenon by investigating small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that successfully compete abroad (and also in the domestic market) with a “glocal” approach, adopting the entrepreneurial formula of industrial districts. Findings The results indicate that international expansion is becoming increasingly more complex (as is every growth/development strategy) but that “glocalism” could represent a potential driver for the success of internationalization strategies. Specifically, for SMEs operating in industrial districts, territorial capitalism could emerge as a unique competitive factor, because it is a component of local structural capital and global reputational capital, as in the case of “Made in Italy.” Originality/value In an increasingly globalized market environment, many companies look to foreign markets to maintain and expand competitive advantage and business performance. Once the companies embark on this endeavor, organizations are involved in governing and managing these networks of finance, production and communication and the distribution-related relationships that constitute globalization. The push to engage in international development is currently imperative for SMEs, which need to extend their business engagement beyond conventional local markets and identify and exploit their distinctive competitive advantage to be able to succeed. One possible way of achieving this is the close interaction with the local territories in which these enterprises reside.

“…wine tours, fine dining experiences). Certain tourism destinations with well-established gastronomic reputations, such as France and Italy (Karim and Chi 2010;Fortis and Sartori 2016), benefit from their gastronomic identity as a point to attract tourists' visits and spending. On the other hand, in some destinations, adaptation and marketing strategies are needed to stimulate visitors' engagements in the local cuisine (Fox 2007;Karim and Chi 2010;Avieli 2013).…”

This paper investigates the connection between culinary tourism and community development through a case study of Amphawa Floating Market, a touristic evening market in Samutsongkram, Thailand, that has been developed in an economically depressed historic trade community. It aims to examine the role of gastronomic experiences offered in the market as a means of improving the well-being of local residents, and critically discuss the potential for the market to become a viable community-based culinary tourism destination. The research involved a number of field trips to Amphawa Floating Market during 2012-2014, during which venue observation was undertaken and semi-structured interviews conducted with local stakeholders, including members of the management unit, food traders and visitors. The paper reveals that gastronomic experiences in which the locals actively take part in the construction and promotion, have positive economic, social and cultural impacts on Amphawa District. Nevertheless, the commodification of food as a tourism offering has negative impacts on the host community and can, to an extent, threaten the quality of experiences, and these shortcomings need to be addressed to assure the long-term commercial viability of the attraction. The research found that Amphawa Floating Market could benefit from the significance of food as a primary tourist experience, the quality of locally-available culinary resources, the strong embeddedness of food in the context of domestic leisure, and the emerging significance of food in the promotional strategy of Thai tourism. Nevertheless, factors that impede the market's positioning as gastronomic attraction should be addressed.
