Iranian crafters show off skills at Milan Handicrafts Fair

A number of Iranian handicrafts artists have participated in the 26th edition of the International Craft Selling Exhibition (L’Artigiano in Fiera) in Milan, Italy.

Some 45 craftspeople from Iran showcased their handicraft products in 40 exhibition pavilions from December 3-1.

The Milan fair is one of the biggest international handicrafts exhibitions, which is held in Europe ahead of Christmas and the New Year.

The distinctive feature of this event is the variety of products on display that come from all over the world and cover an infinite range of categories.

Following the spread of COVID-19, restrictions affected the Milan Handicrafts Fair for about two years, but this year’s exhibition was held with a new record of viewers.

Representatives from 80 countries took part in the exhibition and every country was allowed to have its own pavilion to showcase its traditional arts and music and introduce its cuisine.

Iran’s Cultural Attaché in Italy Mohammad Taghi Amini traveled to Milan in order to inspect the Iranian pavilion at the exhibition.
