VicenzaOro in the post coronavirus era. The Vicenza fair dedicated to jewelry is already thinking about restarting. To launch a signal of vitality, just as all the jewelers and goldsmith workshops are closed for the covid-19, Italian Exhibition Group anticipates the themes of the next appointment (5-9 September).
We are still here, stronger than before. This is the message to be launched at Vicenzaoro September, to start from what we do best: make beautiful things and do them well by combining high craftsmanship with industry and positioning ourselves in the niche of high quality and value that is recognized by all the world.
Licia Mattioli, vice-president of Confindustria, owner of the Maison Mattioli
VicenzaOro 2020 will have as its guiding principle the concept of human touch: creativity and craftsmanship, the human and therefore ethical and sustainable side of industry, the training of human resources and talents, Italian doing, doing style.
As for today, in the particular situation we are experiencing, making predictions is a very difficult task, as Italian entrepreneurs we have an obligation to look ahead with a fighting and positive spirit. With this in mind, and if the indications are confirmed, VOS 2020 is located in a period where in Italy and in several countries – primarily China – we will have already left and therefore an international event such as Vicenza will certify Italy’s renewed desire and ability and the made in Italy jewel to continue to amaze and make consumers around the world dream.
Ivana Ciabatti, president of Confindustria Federorafi
