By the market, capital and other factors, some industries and enterprises are facing difficulties. Such as Italy's major garment manufacturing base - Marche region of luxury goods and high-end clothing orders this year, the continuous decline in the number of local labor costs and high, a number of high-end garment manufacturers began to lay off themselves and seek foreign cooperation. This provides an opportunity for Chinese garment enterprises to visit the market in Italy.
