The first edition of the Salone dell'Alto Artigianato Italiano, at the Arsenale of Venice, closed, recording over 15 thousand visitors, one in five of whom were foreigners. An extraordinary success for a fair in which our company showed products from the Notorious collection.

One hundred and four exhibitors, from North to South, brought to the lagoon the testimony of their know-how, their cultural and social identity. The Tese delle Nappe was the heart of the exhibition, an experiential journey between different cultural expressions that presented a vast range of workmanship - from fine fabrics to ceramic works, from the goldsmith tradition to blown glass, as well as furniture, design objects and much more - which have always been synonymous with Made in Italy in the world. A showcase that highlighted what is behind the artisan work, the passion and care for each object created.

“A first edition in which we immediately received spontaneous satisfaction from all the exhibitors – comments Alberto Bozzo, commercial director of Vela spa – this represents a stimulus for us organizers to further develop and improve this important event of Italian know-how ”.

During the event, moments of in-depth analysis alternated thanks to a panel of conferences and appointments that explored the issues inherent to manual work which is, for each craftsman, also a philosophy of life, but also an awareness towards future generations to whom these arts must be passed down.
