Fair Programme

In the new exhibiting itineraries set up thanks to special installations and settings, the best of the arts and crafts of the various Italian regions will be on show. The Region of Tuscany will be the protagonist of the event with a large reserved area inside the Spadolini Pavilion.

Carefully selected traditional and innovating works will be on show, between originality and design, following an itinerary privileging productive traditions as well as the main territory attractions - local crafts, tourism, food & wine, landscape identities, and so on.

New geographical routes will be followed for the international exhibitors coming from all 5 continents, on show on the lower floor of the Spadolini Pavilion.

In the limelight, the beauty of differences. An exhibiting area reserved to a combination of craft traditions of faraway countries - unique and exclusive proposals, full of history and symbols.
