The volume analyses the contribution made by companies, institutions and research bodies operating in the region of Tuscany for the development of new technologies in the field of cultural heritage. The aim is to contribute to the current debate on the innovative capacity of artistic heritage and on cities of art, understood as creative environments characterised by the presence of clusters that are capable of generating and developing heritage-driven innovations. Through the analysis of research projects and innovation networks, the studies contained in the volume investigate the instance of laser technologies for restoration and of new ICT technologies for the digitisation of cultural heritage. The volume stems from a three-year collaboration with the "Nello Carrara" Institute of Applied Physics of the CNR of Florence.

This book, generated by the creation of a database on the population of enterprises and their characteristics, illustrates the process of development of the Arezzo gold and jewellery system. It is a significant case in view of its international prestige and the use of highly specialised manpower, and at the same time interesting in terms of type, since it represents an emerging district produced by gemmation from a large enterprise. The analysis offers insight into the process of district development and a methodological support for ulterior investigations. At the same time, it also represents a tool for an understanding of the long-term economic dynamics characterising one of the most vital productive areas of Tuscany

This article engages in the debate on cultural economics that has recently become more intense in Italy, in order to focus on two particular aspects: the city of art as an autonomous socio‐economic unit of analysis, and the hypothesis of its districtualization as a driving force for culture‐driven and sustainable economic development. In the article we consider the city of art as a typology of a High Culture local system and we test some hypotheses of cultural districtualization in the art city of Florence. Thus, we concentrate on the 'artistic component' of the productive factor CANH, taking into account only private firms that operate in the field of art restoration and are localized in the Florence city territory. With this as our aim, we undertook an analysis and integration of the questionnaires collected in research by ARTEX (1998) that accounted for 145 firms in the cluster of art restoration. Our analyses brought to light a few interesting signs that evidence the occurrence of different degrees of cultural districtualization.Cet article participe au débat sur l'économie culturelle qui s'est récemment animé en Italie, et vise deux aspects particuliers: la ville d'art en tant qu'unité d'analyse socio‐économique autonome et l'hypothèse de sa constitution en districts en tant que moteur de développement économique durable propulsé par la culture. La ville d'art est considérée comme une typologie de système local de culture élevée; ainsi, sont testées quelques hypothèses sur les districts culturels dans la cité d'art de Florence. Les travaux se concentrent sur la 'composante artistique' du facteur productif (CANH), tenant compte uniquement des entreprises privées qui uvrent dans la restauration d'art et sont implantées sur le territoire urbain de Florence. Etant donné ce but, une analyse a été entreprise, en intégrant des questionnaires collectés par une enquête d'ARTEX (1998) couvrant 145 entreprises dans le secteur de la restauration d'art. L'étude a mis en avant quelques signes intéressants qui montrent l'occurrence de plusieurs degrés de 'districtualisation' culturelle.
