Specialized Small and Medium Industries in a Territory Objectives The agglomeration of small firms into industrial districts could be a real strength of the economic system. Many of these are known as "made in Italy" districts. Coming from Marshall and Becattini definitions, we analyzed alternative methodologies and we proposed an original procedure to identify them. Methods and Results The terms used by the economists, like community of persons, concentration and specialization, have been statistically shown by industrial contiguity indicators, Poisson-Gamma distribution of absolute contingence, and maximum classification codes of economic activity. Three type of industrial districts: bigger, medium, and smaller, have been identified. Specialized workers, in a lot of industries within a close territory, work in the same activity or in more activity connected. Conclusions The industrial districts identified here are those well known in the textile, shoes, glass, and other economic sectors. Some of these are not identified by other methodologies. Smaller districts have been identified also in the South of Italy.
