Italian term or phrase: pre-èlite progettuale
Si può considerare una "pre-élite" o la zona periferica dell'élite. Il target è prevalentemente maschile, piuttosto giovane, o giovanile, di buon profilo. Le ambizioni, le risorse, le aspirazioni, gli stili e le scelte sono "tarate" sull'élite, pur non appartenendovi appieno (alcuni vi accederanno, di fatto, altri resteranno una "periferia").
