The best European listing of 2013 <\/strong> – Moncler<\/strong> debuted on the stock exchange and pulled off a 47% rise on its first day of trading, what Bloomberg<\/em> called the best European performance of the year (December 16  – Moncler Tops Royal Mail for Europe\u2019s Best IPO Debut of 2013<\/a>). And the foreign jumped at the chance to comment on the operation which, as the Canadian The Globe and Mail<\/em> put it, brought the Milan stock market back in fashion (December 17  – Luxury brand Moncler makes Milan stock market fashionable again<\/a>*). Meanwhile, the Financial Times<\/em> reported on the enormous demand on the part of investors and the desperate scramble for the group\u2019s stock, and the Spanish paper el Economista<\/em> commented on the interest in Moncler by the fashion bigs, starting with Zara\u2019s founder, Amancio Ortega (December 17  – Amancio Ortega invierte en la textil italiana Moncler en su debut burs\u00e1til<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The story of the quotation that started with kudos (Businessweek<\/em>, December 16  Designer Down Coats Puff Up the Milan Stock Market<\/a>) was also picked up by other papers. The Times <\/em>related the operation\u2019s success to the brand\u2019s wide range of products, including jackets costing over 1,000 euro (December 17  – Moncler shares soar on first day of trading<\/a>), the Wall Street Journal<\/em> the New York Times<\/em> underscored the attention the luxury sector is attracting right now and the effort to relaunch the Milan Stock Exchange as one of its shining stars (December 16  – Moncler Soars on Milan Debut<\/a>; Moncler Shares Close Up 47% in Market Debut <\/a>).<\/p>\n

But the furor over the Milan stocks was not limited to the fashion sector. According to the Wall Street Journal<\/em>, as over 100 companies are considering listings, the Leone Film Group<\/strong>, spaghetti western director Sergio Leone\u2019s movie production and distribution group, was also recently quoted (December 16  – The Good, the Bad and the IPO<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Made in Italy world wide<\/strong> \u2013 Made in Italy is not only flying in Milan. Equally important results are seen in exports. As the Brazilian Valor Economico<\/em> reported, in October, exports led to an Italian trade surplus<\/strong> (December 16  – Super\u00e1vit comercial da It\u00e1lia quase dobra em outubro<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Behind the numbers are stories about products and brands with a long tradition. That is certainly the case with Riva<\/strong>, and a Bloomberg<\/em> video tells the tale of Italy\u2019s most famous yacht manufacturer (December 13  – Inside Italy’s Most Famous Yachtmaker<\/a>). The foreign press also wrote about other news of some of Italy\u2019s biggest brands. The Spanish Expanion<\/em> published a review on the world of carmakers, enthusing over the Ferrari<\/strong> 458 Speciale<\/strong> (December 13  – Ferrari 458 Speciale, con el punto de mira puesto en la competci\u00f3n,Motor- transporte-rese\u00f1as motor<\/a>) and telling the story of Maserati<\/strong>, still purring away after 100 years (December 13  – Maserati cumple cien a\u00f1os en plena forma<\/a>). The Brazilian O Globo<\/em> wrote about motorcycles, extolling the multiple qualities of the Ducati<\/strong> Multistrada<\/strong> (December 18  – As m\u00faltiplas personalidades da Ducati Multistrada<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Finally, the New York Times<\/em> also told an Italian story. But, instead of writing about Italian industry, the paper was seduced by Naples<\/strong>, and dedicated a long article on the city\u2019s marvels and chaos (December 13   – Seduced by Naples<\/a>).<\/p>\n
