ABSTRACT

The issues of culture and creativity have long been at the centre of a multidisciplinary scientific debate, which emphasizes the relationship among culture, creativity, local development and innovation (Jeffcutt and Pratt 2009). Many scholars from different disciplines, ranging from the economics of culture (Throsby 2010), and of local development (Cooke and Lazzeretti 2008) to managerial and organizational studies (DeFillippi et al. 2007) have been involved in this field of studies.
