  • OTTAVIANO, ITALY - 25 JULY 2019: The machine processing flexible polyurethan with film foaming and that produces fenders for Jeep Renegade is seen here at Adler Group in Ottaviano, Italy, on July 25th 2019.<br />
<br />
Adler-Pelzer Group is an Italian manufacturing Group, and a worldwide leader in the design, development and manufacturing of components and systems for the transportation industry. Founded in 1956 in Ottaviano (Naples), today is the largest producer in Italy and the second in the world of systems for acoustic, thermal comfort and interior design for vehicles in the automotive, aerospace and railway industries. <br />
<br />
Italian manufacturer Adler-Pelzer Group had secured an order worth 2.6 million euros to make parts for military aircraft.That spelled 250 new jobs at its factory outside Naples, the heart of perpetually struggling southern Italy.<br />
“It was a great opportunity,” says Adler-Pelzer Group chairman Paolo Scudieri.<br />
But early this year, alarmed by the intensifying political chaos gripping Italy, Mr. Scudieri’s company shifted the order to a factory in Poland. He was disturbed by what he portrays as the anti-business proclivities of the populists suddenly running the country. He was concerned by the government’s collision with the European Union over its spending plans.<br />
<br />
<br />
Italian companies are deferring expansions and limiting investment rather than risking cash in a time of uncertainty. The public debt remains monumental, running at more than 2 trillion euro ($2.24 trillion), or more than 130 percent of annual economic output. Banks are still stuffed with bad loans — albeit fewer than before — making them reluctant to lend. An economy that has not expanded over the past decade is this year widely expected to again produce no growth.

In Italy, the unemployment rate sits near 10 percent — lower than a year ago, but roughly the same level as in 2012, in the aftermath of a brutal crisis. But many in Naples say the crisis never ended.<br />

Italian companies are deferring expansions and limiting investment rather than risking cash in a time of uncertainty. The public debt remains monumental, running at more than 2 trillion euro ($2.24 trillion), or more than 130 percent of annual economic output. Banks are still stuffed with bad loans — albeit fewer than before — making them reluctant to lend.

<br />
Ten years ago, in the midst of the global financial crisis, Antonio Pastore lost the job he had held for two decades, restoring marble statues. He had earned about 1,200 euros per month ($1,349). As orders disappeared, his employer pressured him to agree to work off the books, he says, enabling the company to avoid paying taxes. He refused, and was summarily fired. That was the last time he has held a real job.<br />

  • AVELLINO, ITALY - 22 JULY 2019: Sabino Basso, owner of the olive oil bottling company Basso, poses for a portrait in Avellino, Italy, on July 22nd 2019.<br />
<br />
Sabino Basso, the owner of the plant, has halted plans to hire 30 more people at the olive oil bottling plant started more than a century ago by his great-grandfather.<br />
Mr. Basso’s company buys olive oil from growers in Italy, Spain and Greece, exporting 80 percent of its wares to countries around the globe — especially the United States, where Wal-Mart is a major customer. He had wanted to hire to boost marketing and online sales.<br />
But then Five Star tightened legal requirements for companies that hire workers on temporary contracts, effectively limiting stints to one year. The change was aimed at forcing businesses to hire permanent workers.<br />
Mr. Basso was aghast. All but five of his 100 workers are permanent, he says. The others are apprentices.<br />
“In order to understand if I want to keep people their whole lives, I have to test them,” he says. The new rules did not allow him sufficient time. “I just stopped hiring.”<br />
His sales in Italy have dipped four percent this year, a trend he blames on the noisy reality show that is Italian politics.<br />

  • AVELLINO, ITALY - 22 JULY 2019: A worker is seen here at Basso, an olive oil bottling company in Avellino, Italy, on July 22nd 2019.<br />
<br />
Sabino Basso, the owner of the plant, has halted plans to hire 30 more people at the olive oil bottling plant started more than a century ago by his great-grandfather.<br />
Mr. Basso’s company buys olive oil from growers in Italy, Spain and Greece, exporting 80 percent of its wares to countries around the globe — especially the United States, where Wal-Mart is a major customer. He had wanted to hire to boost marketing and online sales.<br />
But then Five Star tightened legal requirements for companies that hire workers on temporary contracts, effectively limiting stints to one year. The change was aimed at forcing businesses to hire permanent workers.<br />
Mr. Basso was aghast. All but five of his 100 workers are permanent, he says. The others are apprentices.<br />
“In order to understand if I want to keep people their whole lives, I have to test them,” he says. The new rules did not allow him sufficient time. “I just stopped hiring.”<br />
His sales in Italy have dipped four percent this year, a trend he blames on the noisy reality show that is Italian politics.<br />
<br />
Italian companies are deferring expansions and limiting investment rather than risking cash in a time of uncertainty. The public debt remains monumental, running at more than 2 trillion euro ($2.24 trillion), or more than 130 percent of annual economic output. Banks are still stuffed with bad loans — albeit fewer than before — making them reluctant to lend.

<br />
Ten years ago, in the midst of the global financial crisis, Antonio Pastore lost the job he had held for two decades, restoring marble statues. He had earned about 1,200 euros per month ($1,349). As orders disappeared, his employer pressured him to agree to work off the books, he says, enabling the company to avoid paying taxes. He refused, and was summarily fired. That was the last time he has held a real job.<br />
<br />
At the Sgarrupato unemployed workers share strategies for how to find work, and how to navigate the bewildering government benefits system.<br />

  • NAPLES, ITALY - 16 OCTOBER 2020: Valeria Fascione (53), Campania's minister for internationalisation, start-ups and innovation, poses for a portrait in Naples, Italy, on October 16th 2020. She is the only regional minister in Italy with such a role, she says, proudly stating that Campania now has Italy's second-fastest growth for start-ups.<br />
<br />
In the past few years Naples been fostering a growing community of tech start-ups and app creators. What has really changed the game for Naples' tech scene is Apple's recent arrival in the city. In 2015, Apple opened its Developer Acamdy in Naples, in conjunction with University of Naples Federico II, where students spend a year training to be developers, coders, app creators and start-up entrepreneurs. <br />
<br />
And where Apple goes, others follow. In 2018, networking giant Cisco opened its own networking academy in Naples.<br />
<br />
The hope is it will change not just Naples' reputation, but also its fortunes and so reverse a brain drain that's seen many of the city's young graduates leave to find jobs in the more prosperous north of Italy, or even abroad. Naples, and its region, Campania, is part of the Mezzogiorno (southern Italy and Sicily) which lags behind the rest of the country in terms of economic growth. Here the youth jobless rate was above 50% in 2019, among the highest unemployment rate in Europe.
