“Since my return to the presidency in 2011, the international vocation has been what drives the Salone del Mobile in its tourist and economic attraction – recalls the president of the Salone, Roberto Snaidero, in his latest edition in this role which will be taken from 15 February by the successor Emanuele Orsini -. We want to be the emanation of Italy in the world”.

And Milan is its capital” is the slogan of aedition that includes 2.000 exhibitors on a space of 20.000 square meters with around 300.000 visitors expected from more than 165 countries.
