Italy is a place with many talents, but that's not enough, for two reasons at least.
First: why should I stay here when people have no money to pay me for my talent?
Second: let's say that I want to start a startup, it's extremely hard to find talented people near you. I live in a relatively small city, which with the province makes about 500k persons I think, and I know nobody who knows rails well. And we're talking about rails, what about Clojure, Objective c, etc.
Maybe there are good people out there, but for cultural reasons you don't even know they exist.

And the province of Venice has, according to Wikipedia 829,418 people.
- oscardelben 16y agoI don't live in Venice ;) Edit: but even if I move to a bigger city, like Milan for example, what's the point if there are no money to fund startups?
