prof. Pier Luigi Sacco
Pier Luigi Sacco is professor of Cultural Economics at IULM University, Milan, and as of September 1, 2011, Dean of the Faculty of Arts,
Markets, and Heritage. His research is focused on the economy of culture in postindustrial
times. His outlook is a curious mix of economic savvy and humanist
reflection. Sacco claims that investing in intangible goods must become
a part of a new economic policy and that it is a way to include art in
the building of our prosperity. He also claims that cooperation between
scientists, businessmen and local communities is absolutely crucial to
social and cultural development. Such cooperation, according to Sacco,
should be fostered on a local, as well as an international level.
Sacco authored numerous publications on modern economy. He writes about
economic behavior, competitiveness, tax cuts for those investing in
culture and sponsorship. Sacco does not limit himself to strictly
theoretical reflections. He’s Science Director of The Fund Raising
School at the University of Bologna, an organization tasked with
acquiring funds for scientific research, scholarships and grants. He
also is one of the coordinators of the Masters Program in Art and
Culture Management at the School of Management in Trento. There, he
teaches how to acquire funds for cultural and economic development of
cities. Sacco serves as an advisor in these matters to the governments
of Venice, Florence, the French city of Lille and the capital of
Albania.
