Economy
The airline MyAir, now no longer operating, used to have its head office in Torri di Quartesolo.[3]
Torri di Quartesolo has become an important commercial hub in recent years, thanks to the opening in the 1990s of the shopping mall "Le Piramidi", which attracts shoppers from as far as 30 miles away and has spurred a remarkable residential and commercial development.
