Artigianato e Palazzo opens applications for the 31st edition to be held from 12 to 14 September 2025 at the Giardino Corsini in Florence. There will be many opportunities: young artisans under 35 will receive a 30% reduction on the participation fee; those coming from outside the Tuscan region will receive a 10% discount on stand rental to help with travel expenses. Once again, Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d'Arte and Wellmade are partners in the initiative. Registration closes on 9 May!
The entrance hall of Palazzo Corsini will be transformed into “MACRO”, a space for reflection and discussion curated by architect and interior decorator Cosimo Bonciani, who will reflect on the theme ‘in scale’ with a number of craftspersons selected together with the Exhibition Organisers: the space will not only be a celebration of technical skill, but an opportunity to explore the role of craftsmanship in contemporary society, with exhibitions and installations designed to stimulate reflection on its meaning and value.
In the Scuderie, visitors will be able to meet the “Artigiani Golosi” (Gourmand Artisans), to take a journey of discovery of the best Italian and foreign haute cuisine.
“Next Generation” will be the new space dedicated to young people in the Manica Lunga; the name encapsulates its meaning: innovation and future prospects will be the themes to deal with.
Artisans who demonstrate particular attention to the craftsmanship of production processes and their sustainability will be selected. Please note that craftsmen who do not work live will not be admitted to the exhibition. There is time until 9 May 2025: hurry up!
