PUNTOITALY No29 - January 2022

EDITORIAL We had left each other talking about complicated times and economies suffering due to a pandemic that shows no signs of leaving us. Today, we are in a difficult winter again, with many unknowns, especially regarding the events that characterize our industry at an international level. We are preparing for Sigep in Rimini, an event of great strategic importance for the entire worldwide dessert industry. We will be there, equipped to follow the safety rules, but nonetheless we will be there, together with hundreds of exhibitors ready to give momentum to new products. As I am writing this editorial, Italy, although with the necessary prudence, is running better than everyone in Europe, with a GDP higher than expected and well above the average of the old continent. Perhaps the very strong vaccination campaign put in place during all of these months is helping us, even though I believe that the entrepreneurial spirit, the tenacity and the imagination that characterize “Made in Italy” are what always puts us one step ahead, regardless of the place or the circumstance. All we can do is hang in there and hope to see each other soon, in some corner of the world! Italy is running, catch us if you can! 15
