Craftsmanship is back in the spotlight between Lecco and Como. From Oct. 30 to Nov. 3, Lariofiere is hosting the 52nd edition of the Handicrafts Market Exhibition, the longest-running and most identifiable event at the grassroots exhibition center. Organized by Fondazione Lariofiere, Confartigianato Imprese Como and Confartigianato Imprese Lecco, with the support of the Como-Lecco Chamber of Commerce, the event welcomes nearly 200 exhibitors representing the area's know-how.

An event that celebrates artisan value
The 2025 edition incorporates the word "market" in its title, hence the acronym MOMA. A choice that, as Lariofiere Foundation President Marco Galimberti explains, aims to reaffirm the profound sense of the meeting between people, ideas and projects. The market is not only a physical place of sale and exchange, but an ideal space where to share visions, build relationships and transmit value even before products.

The theme of the edition is "Artisan Value to Take Home," an invitation to recognize in craftsmanship not only a production chain, but a human and cultural ecosystem to live and cherish.

This year more than 70 exhibitors are participating for the first time. Great novelty of the edition is the opening of Pavilion C of the fairgrounds with the area dedicated to furniture and home accessories, a sector that returns as a protagonist and that well represents the value of craftsmanship in the area.

The 'craftsmanship is represented in all its declinations: from furniture to home complements, from clothing to accessories, from giftware to gifts, from wellness to artistic craftsmanship, and even food. An itinerary that combines aesthetics and economic value, culture and market.
