In three generations, the Carraro family has built an international industrial empire. A success story in the Italian manner, held up as a model of its kind in Europe. In Europe's slide to the right, Italy has a special place. Especially in the northeastern region of Venetia, which for the past three decades has been enjoying an economic miracle and has become an economic and social laboratory for post-modern capitalism. This region of swamps, great poverty and mass emigration at the beginning of the 20th century is today the symbol of Italy's social and cultural transformation. Individual success and personal enrichment have got the better of collective values. This Venetian model is what Berlusconi the entrepreneur would like to see extend throughout the country, based on the principle that the micro-economy is behind the success of "made in Italy." But is this model transmissible to a new generation that aspires to building its life in ways other than hard work? Can it be perpetuated when Italy is undergoing demographic problems such as the fact that the bosses of small and medium-sized enterprises are forced to hire a foreign labor?
