Design activity is fragmented across various Italian municipalities. High concentrations in Arzignano and Bolzano mean the market is not centered in a single metropolitan area. This dispersion creates a wide geographic reach for anyone targeting these firms. While Series A companies often maintain larger headcounts, the broad distribution of cities requires a decentralized approach to outreach.
