Ne è testimonianza il fatto che nella nostra Provincia ricade una parte importante del Polo Calzaturiero che è uno dei primi in Italia ed ha decine di migliaia di occupati.

regional shoe manufacturing industry
Explanation:
hub, zone, site, complex, centre are ways of translating 'polo', but here it looks like it is referring to the industry in the local context, headed by the provincia.

agree  Katherine Zei: "hub" is perfect in this case, ma...così "polo delle libertà" sarebbe "the hub of liberties"? a bit weird :)))
38 mins
  -> yes, weird to say the least!!
neutral  Luuk Arens: I'd go for 'cluster' as you suggest Daniela, but, yes, you are right, 'hub' would be OK.
1 hr
  -> cluster is Ok, but I like HUB too in this case...

footware manufacturing center


Explanation:
it is recognized to be a major center for the footware industry.
"shoe manufacturing" gives the idea that only shoes are made where I believe it sould be all inclusive (shoes, boots, slippers, sandals)
Think of center and a "shopping center", a site where many stores are gouped together
