One of our principles IDF actually has a full electronic production plant in Bari and claim to be fully competitive with Sagem's North Africa plant and the Far East.

They do DSL gateways for Telecom Italia with main offices in Milano.

Now part of that deal of course includes subsidies by the Italian State.

No different from the heavy subsidies West Germany pays to East Germany, still after 2o years.

So if the South Italian problems have their roots in people being more lazy than those up north, then equally the East German problems would seem to have their roots quite like those in the South of Italy.

The only common denominator I could think of here: 40 years of heavy exposition to communism.
