2. The Hidden Opportunities
Why is Pisa famous all over the world?....
For a mistake!
A mistake that has become the town's
greatest resource.
Anything else unique?
A concentration of talented people,
a creative potential that the economy
of the region is not able to value and
it is often wasted in unsatisfactory jobs.
Just another mistake or a goldmine to be harnessed?

3. The scenario
One wins, but all the others lose.
Is really that the idea of crowdsourcing?
Is another model possible?
