    I know. But nowdays, in the furniture field companies like Cassina, Kartell etc. look for young designer as in Italy as abroad, and generally isn't so bad.
    The problem is in communication design: 3 or 4 big companies (like Kora, Iconmedialab, Inferentia DNM and few others) with big clients and a lot of small agencies (like the one where i am in) that have small and hard clients, typically family run factories with bad attitude for design and communication. Very little research on typefaces and media experiments. Some schools, like Politecnico di Milano (www.design.polimi.it) are triyng tu build a "system" for design, companies and designers, but it's a hard and long way. Moreover consider that design is a recent matter of study (the firs degree course was opened 10 years ago) before, the designer was used to be first an architect
