TORINO AND ITS PROVINCE

The fourth largest province in Italy for the number of companies and the second most important for exports, Torino and its provin-ce, notwithstanding the duration of the natio-nal and internationatio-nal economic crisis remains confirmed as one of the primary competitive territories at a national and European level. Thanks both to a historic industrial vocation and new productive specialisations acquired in recent years, which have witnessed a new opening of the territory to the service sector and new industrial sectors, in the last year the sub-alpine province has been able to maintain its important econo-mic weight: the provincial gdp is in fact third in the ranking of Italian provinces and is compa-rable, in its size to the wealth produced by coun-tries such as the Slovak Republic and Ecuador. A foreign component that is increasingly integra-ted and present in a significant manner also contri-butes to the development of the territorial socio-e-conomic fabric and its entrepreneurial system. In 2015, thanks to the new exhibition of the Holy Shroud of Torino and EXPO 2015, which takes place in the nearby area of Milan, the ter-ritory of Torino will have new opportunities to increase its tourist traffic, already strengthened over the last decade following the organisation of large events of international importance.

Territory, population and environment

With 316 municipalities and a territory of more than 6,800 square kilometres, well distributed among plains, hills and mountainous areas, the province of Torino is the fourth largest in Italy, not only by population (after Rome, Milan and Naples) but also by surface area, coming after Bolzano, Foggia and Cuneo.

It still holds the record in Italy for the largest number of municipa-lities. In terms of population, with almost 2,3 million inhabitants, the subalpine territory has a population density of 337 inhabitants per square kilometre: almost 52% of the resident population is made up of women, while 40% of the residents are below 40 years of age. The foreign component represents some 9.7% of the overall popu-lation.

The infrastructure of the province of Torino is functional both for the economic and social needs of the territory.

In particular, the infrastructure indicators developed by the Taglia-carne Institute and Unioncamere highlight that the social infra-structure of the province is clearly superior to the values registered for the Italian Northeast and the Piedmont Region.

As to the economic infrastructure, the Sandro Pertini Airport at

Torino Caselle certainly counts among the most important for the territory.

Nevertheless, in 2013 the number of passengers transiting through the airport continued to decline (-10% compared to the year befo-re), reaching 3.16 million. At the same time, the number of average weekly flights also fell, especially if compared to the average of five years before.

In addition to good infrastructure, the City of Torino has in recent years increased its urban park areas: according to data made avai-lable by the City of Torino, in 2012 the city possessed ample green areas, prevalently urban parks (some 36.8% of the total) and equip-ped green areas (20.8%), a precious contribution to the liveability and perception of quality of life for its citizens and visitors. This environmental component is reflected also in the careful at-tention the subalpine citizens give to the recycling and differentia-tion of waste material. The differentiated collecdifferentia-tion of materials in the province of Torino represents 51% of overall waste collection, a percentage above both the Italian average (39.9%) and that of the Italian Northwest (49.5%).

Economy and Companies

Once again during the course of 2014, the process of partial recon-version of the structure of the entrepreneurial fabric of our province continued its evolution. Thus, if on one hand the manufacturing sector and construction continued to register negative variations, on the other hand the service sector today represents more than 63% of the 227,208 companies registered in the province of Torino. The number of the companies in the sector of public, social and personal services continued to increase (+0.8%) as well as in the tourist sector (+0.6%). Nevertheless, that increase was not enough to offset the loss in other sectors, and the year closed with an ove-rall negative variation (-1.7% with respect to 2013). This economic picture, still uncertain, did not favour investments in innovation: the number of requests from Torino for patents from the European Patent Office was equal to 2011, at 275. Nevertheless, Torino still holds 65% of the European patents deposited in the Piedmont Re-gion. Foreign entrepreneurship also continued to decline: after a slowdown in 2013, (+0.9%), once again in 2014 foreign companies grew “only” by 0.6%. Of the 32,381 foreign entrepreneurs resident in the province of Torino, some 25% were of Romanian nationality,

about 15% were Moroccan and 7% were Chinese. Encouraging signals of a future economic recovery arrived from trade abroad, which for the second year in a row demonstrated a positive dyna-mic.There was a notable increase both in exports, which reached 20,600 million Euros at the end of the year (+3.5% more than in 2013), and in imports (14,744 million Euros, +2.4%); in particular increases were registered in the sale abroad of means of transport (+6%), electrical devices (+14.8%) and miscellaneous machines and machinery (+3.1%).

Among the first 10 countries that were destinations of Torino exports, in 2014 Germany was confirmed as the main importing partner, followed at a short distance by France. The United Sta-tes remained in third position, while Poland overtook the United Kingdom. Taking Belgium’s former place is Brazil, which in 2014 absorbed 3.5% of Torino exports.

Taking into consideration the overall degree of development of its territory, the province of Torino produced 54% of the value ad-ded of the Piedmont Region and 4% of the national Italian figure (thanks especially to the service sector).

Employment and education

Work and professional training represent fundamental components to promote the development and competitiveness of the territorial socio-economic system.

In 2014 the labour force of the province of Torino held steady, notwithstanding a slight fall in the preceding year, above one mil-lion persons, who represent more than half of the Piedmontese la-bour force and 4% of the Italian statistic.

With 898,000 workers, the employment rate of the province is 61.4%, slightly below the regional rate (62.4%), but above the Ita-lian rate (55.7%).

The unemployment rate, having arrived at 12.9%, is in line with the national statistic (12.8%) and above the regional rate (11.3%). Almost 70% of those employed work in the service sector, while 30% work in industry and less than 1% in agriculture.

Total hirings in 2014 were 345,276, of which some 18.3% were per-manent hire contracts, down 1% from the year before. Among the temporary contracts (81.7% of the total), the most used contractual form was the subordinated temporary contracts (32.4% of the total) and administrative contracts (25.4%), both slightly higher.

Once again in 2013 the number of professional training courses in the province of Torino grew, as the Regional Commission for Pro-fessional Training gave ample space to these initiatives, producing a complete range of training options. There were some 6,354 active courses, involving over 100,000 students.

The presence of foreign students in the schools and institutes of the province also increased (+1.4%) reaching a total of 36,490 fo-reigners, representing almost 12% of the students in the province. As concerns their origins, some 57.0% come from other European countries, about 26.3% are from Africa, 9.8% arrive from America (the only area to show a slight decrease over the previous year) and 6.8% from Asia.

The year 2013 saw 16,819 university students graduate in the province of Torino, of which 47.4% male and 52.6% female. The Faculty of Engineering had the largest number of new graduates, 3,790, followed at a distance by Economics with 2,411 graduates. These were followed by the Faculty of Architecture (1,660) and the Faculty of Political Science (1,559).

Tourism and quality of life

Thanks especially to the boost given first by the organisation and hosting of the 20th Winter Olympic Games, and the successive promotion and production of tourist, sporting and social and cultural events around the territory of the subalpine province – from the celebrations of the 150th Anniversary of Italian Unity, to the more recent World Masters Games – Torino has in recent years developed a clear ability to attract numerous visitors to the territory. These grand events have stimulated the updating and renovation of numerous museum and art collections, while in other cases there have been entirely new collections built: both cases have met with notable success, as in the cases of the Automobile Museum, the Royal Castle of Venaria and the Workshop of Large Repairs (OGR). In addition, important opportunities will be offered to the province of Tori-no by Expo 2015, which will take place in Milan but will have a signifi-cant influence on the Piedmontese capital, both for the direct economic impact of the Universal Trade Fair, and for the cultural front of tourist attractions offered. The availability of lodging in the subalpine province continues to grow, having reached at the end of the year a total of 1,750 tourist structures equipped with 68,596 beds. Since 2007, the number of hotels has increased by 5.7%, while lodgings other than hotels have

in the province of Torino grew again (+6.1% compared to 2012), for a total of over 4 million at year end 2013. Among the institutes, the most visited remained unchanged, with the Royal Castle of Venaria in first place with 598,547 admissions, followed by the National Cinema Mu-seum (567,977) and the Egyptian MuMu-seum (540,332). Over the last year tourist arrivals in the province were more or less constant (with a slight increase of 35,000 arrivals), due in reality to those arriving from other places in Italy, while those from abroad fell slightly. Among the foreign tourists, the first place among main sources sees France in a position of command, which ensures a quarter of the total number of foreign tou-rists, while Germany, now at third place with 34,000 arrivals, has been passed up by the United Kingdom which sends almost 44,000 tourists to the province. In 2013 these families spent on average 2,178 Euros every month, some 2.6% more than what was registered in 2012, which was instead a year characterised by a slight drop in spending. Of this amount, some 15.3% is represented by foodstuffs, one percentage point higher than the year before. Finally, a high propensity to purchase tech-nological goods by the family nuclei in Torino Metropolitan Area was registered: in 2012, some 95% of the families owned latest-generation
