Abstract

The chapter examines territorial inequalities in Italy through the lens of ‘left-behind places’. Methodologically, it adopts a qualitative approach and draws on two case studies: Murano (Venice), renowned for artistic glassmaking, and the inner-rural area of Gennargent-Mandrolisai (Sardinia). Both contexts were investigated within the Horizon EXIT project. Preliminary findings indicate that, despite their differences, the two areas share experiences of exclusion linked not only to physical isolation but, above all, to the lack of effective public policies. This suggests that territorial disadvantage results from multiple processes that require targeted responses.
