A suggestion for improvement
[edit]"The army slaughtered some 50,000 Pratesi in the streets." - it is very doubtful to my mind. This would be one of the biggest massacres in the middle ages. It'd be good if somebody would check it - maybe it was 500 or 2,000? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jurand z Krakowa (talk • contribs) 11:18, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
Typical food section is written terribly (Mangia e Be[v]i = "Eat and Drink" and not "Eat and Beautiful"). Several other descriptions are almost unreadable... 193.111.70.3 (talk) 07:50, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
It is stated that Prato is the second largest city in Tuscany so it should then be the FOURTH largest in central Italy and not the third "after Rome and Florence"----

Guy Standing writes about the Chinese workers...
[edit]The city is mentioned by Guy Standing in his book The Precariat - the new dangerous class.
This is how he tells the story:
"In 1989 there were almost no foreign people in the city. For centuries it had been a great manufacturing centre of textiles and garments. Many of its 180,000 residents were linked to those industries, generation after generation. Then, in 1989, came a group of thirty-eight Chinese workers. And with them a new breed of garment firms began to emerge – owned by Chinese immigrants and a few Italians with links to them. They imported more and more Chinese labourers, many coming without work visas... By 2008, there were 4,200 Chinese firms registered in the city and 45,000 Chinese workers, making up a fifth of the city’s population (Dinmore, 2010a, b). (By then) they were producing 1 million garments every day, enough to dress the world’s population in 20 years, according to calculations by municipal officials."
