Once upon a time… There is still today
Once upon a time, there was an old factory where people worked with wagons, mules and oxen, there were many children playing, running and climbing on pallets. Then the factory closed down, workers went home and the large spaces remained deserted.
Today, thanks to the intuition that an abandoned area could become a Techno Park, engineers, computer scientists, physicists and high-tech experts, start-uppers and innovators work in the site. No more wagons and oxen but weird vehicles and super sophisticated prototypes often appear in the streets of the Park. And kids are back thanks to the nursery and the garden which are open to everyone.
Once upon a time, there was a factory… Today there is a hive of ideas and a bit factory
