There will also be <strong>43 restaurants<\/strong> and <strong>16 refreshment areas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These are the figures for an event that has grown further in its representation of the world\u2019s traditions and cultures, and in the amount of exhibition space (<strong>10<\/strong> halls this year).<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>inauguration ceremony<\/strong>, in the presence of the Chairman of Fiere S.p.A., <strong>Antonio Intiglietta<\/strong>, and of the authorities, will take place <strong>at 12 o&#8217;clock<\/strong> in the new <strong>Artimondo Restaurant<\/strong> (in Hall No. 4).<\/p>\n<p>The theme this year is \u201c<strong>Craftspeople, creators of beauty and goodness. Originals by definition<\/strong>\u201d, which will be the litmus paper for the attendances, but also the shows and culinary experiences offered by Italy and by the world, which will alternate at <strong>Fieramilano (Rho-Pero)<\/strong> until <strong>10 December<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The claim is the key for interpreting what is <strong>new in 2017<\/strong>: the decision to give <strong>Iran<\/strong> and its ancient craft tradition the role of country of honour; the China Pavilion dedicated to the equally ancient Chinese culture; the significant presence of craftspeople in the \u201cSoumb\u00e9dioune craft village\u201d in Dakar, in <strong>Senegal<\/strong>; the participation of <strong>Afghanistan<\/strong>, which wants to promote in its micro craft business in the great global craft village.<\/p>\n<p>The whole of Italy, from north to south, will be faithfully represented. Visitors will be able to admire the mastery of craftspeople working before them, and watch <strong>shows of traditional dances and songs that will liven up the event every day<\/strong>. This is an unrepeatable opportunity to get in contact with the history of the world\u2019s populations.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to increasingly good quality catering that is representative of the world\u2019s culinary traditions (<strong>43 restaurants, 16 refreshments areas<\/strong>), in <strong>Pavilion 4<\/strong>, a new proposal will be on offer. <strong>Artimondo Restaurant<\/strong>, a space dedicated to the best Italian recipes, promoted with the collaboration of the <strong>Federation of Italian Chefs<\/strong>, and with the <strong>National Team of Chefs<\/strong>, who succeeded, last October, in the \u201c<strong>Global Chefs Challenge<\/strong>\u201d (the world cooking competition organized by Worldchefs), in Prague. With this success, the team qualified for the <strong>world finals of the event<\/strong>, which will take place in 2018, in Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot that is new also regarding the <strong>exhibition halls<\/strong>. In the <strong>Fashion &amp; Design<\/strong>\u00a0area (Hall 4), for nine days, the initiative and enthusiasm of young people will be the focus. The fashion students at the <strong>High School in Inveruno<\/strong> will again be the protagonists of the fashion show. \u201c<strong>Inhabiting the house<\/strong>\u201d (Hall 4) will accommodate a new project: <strong>Artimondo Home collection<\/strong>, a collection dedicated to the innovative home, <em>hi-tech<\/em> which combines comfort, functionality and aesthetics. Still in Hall 4, the \u201c<strong>Bridal Show Milano<\/strong>\u201d will be making its debut, bringing together in one place the best <strong>representatives of the wedding sector<\/strong> and presenting previews, and the latest ideas and trends in the market for brides and grooms. Last, but not least, in Hall 6, there will be the \u201c<strong>Creativity Show<\/strong>\u201d, with <strong>over one hundred courses<\/strong> scheduled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Magica Compania<\/strong> will collect the little visitors and their families at the entrance to Halls 5\/7. Also this year, the <strong><em>baby parking<\/em><\/strong> service will enable mums to enjoy the experience of the Craft Fair in tranquillity, by being able to put their children safely in the hands of instructors. New mums will have access to the <strong>free nursery service<\/strong>. The <strong>show area<\/strong> will guarantee energy and fun: numerous performances of dance, singing and animated stories. This year, emphasis is being put on the \u201c<strong>Green economy<\/strong>\u201d: green cooking workshops, eco-sustainable games, workshops on recycling and so much more.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors will be able to <strong>wrap their presents<\/strong> with \u201cCraft Fair\u201d-branded wrapping paper, with the aid of volunteers from the Papal Foreign Missions Institute (PIME), who will be there for the first time. At the fair, you will also be able to request the delivery of products to your homes, simply, thanks to a paid delivery service (<strong>AF Express<\/strong>), which delivers all over Italy. The Craft Fair, which, last year, saw <strong>1,670,000 visitors<\/strong>, can be reached from all over Italy. As well as the <strong>Trenord<\/strong> services, the <strong>infrastructure system in North Italy<\/strong> and the Milan <strong>Underground<\/strong>, <strong>Italo<\/strong> will make an extra stop, like last year, at the station of Milano Rho \u2013 Fiera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 3200 stands, a total of 150,000 products, with over 100 countries represented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1026,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,7],"tags":[14307],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Craft fair, on Saturday, inauguration for the 22nd year<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"More than 3200 stands, a total of 150,000 products, with over 100 countries represented.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"it_IT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Craft fair, on Saturday, inauguration for the 22nd year\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"More than 3200 stands, a total of 150,000 products, with over 100 countries represented.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2017\/12\/craft-fair-saturday-inauguration-for-the-22nd-year\/673241\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"VareseNews\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/varesenews\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"Ssml Varese\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-12-04T13:48:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"SSML\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@SSML_Varese\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@varesenews\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Scritto da\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"SSML\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Tempo di lettura stimato\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minuti\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2017\/12\/craft-fair-saturday-inauguration-for-the-22nd-year\/673241\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2017\/12\/craft-fair-saturday-inauguration-for-the-22nd-year\/673241\/\",\"name\":\"Craft fair, on Saturday, inauguration for the 22nd year\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-12-04T13:48:04+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-12-04T13:48:04+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/#\/schema\/person\/84973f107a9e585e0a65364be10e8dc4\"},\"description\":\"More than 3200 stands, a total of 150,000 products, with over 100 countries represented.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2017\/12\/craft-fair-saturday-inauguration-for-the-22nd-year\/673241\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"it-IT\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2017\/12\/craft-fair-saturday-inauguration-for-the-22nd-year\/673241\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2017\/12\/craft-fair-saturday-inauguration-for-the-22nd-year\/673241\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.varesenews.it\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Craft fair, on Saturday, inauguration for the 22nd year\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/\",\"name\":\"VareseNews\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"it-IT\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/#\/schema\/person\/84973f107a9e585e0a65364be10e8dc4\",\"name\":\"SSML\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"it-IT\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/SSML-Round.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/SSML-Round.png\",\"caption\":\"SSML\"},\"description\":\"If you have a passion for languages then the \u201cScienze della Mediazione Linguistica\u201d degree will start you on your path towards becoming a translator or an interpreter.
