ApritiModa - Villa Bernasconi
The ninth edition of ApritiModa returns with 93 participating protagonists from all over Italy. On October 25 and 26, 2025, the event, the brainchild of journalist Cinzia Sasso, will, as usual, give the opportunity to visit the behind-the-scenes of Italian fashion free of charge by booking on apritiModa.it. Companies, laboratories, museums and ateliers will open their doors "to give the opportunity to get to know the beauties and secrets of Italian fashion, meet and talk with those who work every day to ensure that through their artifacts the reputation of Made in Italy is kept high."
There where the creativity, genius and know-how of Made in Italy are hidden: from Piedmont to Sicily, many workshops, ateliers, maisons, factories, theatrical tailors and museums open their doors for a unique occasion joined by Villa Bernasconi with special events and free guided tours of the museum
