Excellent deals and pleasant surprises at Parma Bagarre Deballage, which concluded yesterday at Fiere di Parma: an important reopening for the entire collectibles sector, with about 500 exhibitors displaying a wide range of pieces to suit all budgets.

A new opportunity but one that is already looking towards the Autumn, when Mercanteinfiera will reopen its doors for a special anniversary. “The return to the in-person exhibition has a very high symbolic and economic value for the world of antiques. We have chosen the deballage formula because its characteristics are suitable for the current situation: it is a short event, it takes place in large spaces and its costs are low. An ideal preview of the Autumn edition of Mercanteinfiera, which  is finally going to take us to the AfterCovid exhibition period that industry players have long been waiting for,” states Antonio Cellie, Fiere di Parma’s CEO and the mind behind this initiative. The pandemic has shown how the creation of new ways of interacting has further strengthened international relations. Still, nothing can replace the importance of in-person meetings, the evaluation of the piece, the direct interaction with the market, with the object and with the people selling it. 

The visitors who attended the event testify to the importance of the restart, especially as regards international relations: the 1,500 operators present on the first day  proved that the key countries for the antiques market were looking forward to return to Italy in order to close the leads generated during the lockdown periods.

Looking forward to the autumn surprises, Fiere di Parma concludes with satisfaction this first event of the 2021 exhibition year and keeps providing updates on the exhibition websites and on social channels.
