The very first wave of research on the entrepreneurial roots of Italian industrial districts has highlighted its agricultural origins, especially the contribution made by share-cropping and independent farming (Paci, 1980). Sharecropping, which encouraged cooperative economic behavior, has often explained both economic development in Italy’s central regions and its absence in the south, where agricultural wage labor predominated (Silverman, 1968). Later research, however, has cautioned against such an overly narrow causal explanation, because of the many industrial district entrepreneurs who have come from diverse agricultural and urban backgrounds (Forni,1987; Guenzi, 1997). Putnam (1993), also sees preexisting agricultural structures as just one of the many institutional reasons why Italy’s center and north have been economically successful. As provincial towns, daily life in Italian industrial districts is marked by a strong sense of local identity and a shared history, it reflects an absence of significant geographical mobility. Both entrepreneurs and workers normally live in the same community where they work; frequently it is also where they have grown up. Not surprisingly, local dialect serves to distinguish insiders from outsiders. These communities are certainly different from certain important regional clusters such as Silicon Valley, where almost all of the important actors immigrated from elsewhere (Saxenian, 1994). But the social homogeneity of the
