The analysis of the geographic dimension of Italian industry’s active
multinationality is less clear than the analysis of Italian passive multinationality. It is
impossible to distinguish between EU and non-EU Italian multinationals, given the fact
that foreign affiliates of the same Italian parent company are located both in EU and
non-EU countries. There are few exceptions. Three industry (1740, 2820, 3420) are
characterised by Italian multinational firms with foreign affiliates only in European
countries. Two are the industries where Italian multinationals control foreign affiliates
located exclusively in non-European countries (2020, 1510).
