Scoperta moving back to Chiasso
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 2, 2008
Cirencester, England — Scoperta, the home textiles trade show that runs concurrently with Italy's Proposte fabric fair, is moving back to Chiasso, Switzerland, its original home and its location during eight of its 11 years.
The Scoperta show runs May 6 to 8, while Proposte runs May 7 to 10.
In September, Bill Davis, head of show organizer Trade Link, said the 2008 Scoperta would be held in Como, Italy, next door to Cernobbio, the site of the high-end Proposte decorative fabric exhibition.
But in December, Scoperta's location was changed to Fiera Milano in Rho, Italy — a 45-minute drive from Proposte's venue at Villa Erba but a better locale than Como, Davis said at the time.
Now, he said that returning to its roots in Chiasso will cut travel time to 10 or 15 minutes. The show will be in the main hall of the Palapenz center and in a temporary structure, with a total of up to 60 exhibitors.
Visas will be necessary for non-European Union residents. But, Davis said, "It is anticipated that the border controls between Italy and Switzerland will be quick and easy."
