In territorial design, the function of the product (the knife for cutting or the lamp for lighting) loses importance compared to the more meaningful ability to convey values. [...] The consecration as a typical product (agent of local identity, marker) leads to its cultural legitimisation, to elevate it as a sign and vestige [...] capable of evoking feelings, emotions and memories.

Raffaella Fagnoni, About wine. Design, tourism and territories, in Area n. 157/2018 p.18-25
