Italy continues to host a diverse array of industrial and cultural events throughout the autumn season. In the industrial sector, the Cersaie international exhibition for ceramic architecture and bathroom furnishings is taking place at Bologna Fiere. The event highlights the global leadership of the ceramic district, particularly the Sassuolo area, which serves as a hub for design and technological innovation. Sassuolo Mayor Matteo Mesini noted that the week positions the territory at the center of the global economic scene.

Cersaie features 597 exhibitors from 24 countries, covering 145,000 square meters of exhibition space. The event focuses on surfaces, finishes, bathroom furnishings, and raw materials. Recent showcases include Pamesa Grupo Empresarial’s GripPRO, a post-production treatment providing an anti-slip finish suitable for outdoor applications like terraces and pools without altering aesthetics. Gres Aragón is demonstrating integrated solutions for extruded ceramics, including ventilated facades and the new Borde Monocompact Slim for pools. Cottovietri continues to present its ‘Bellezza celata’ concept, emphasizing the artisanal craftsmanship of Campanian ceramics. Additionally, FILA Solutions is introducing its Linea Grip anti-slip treatments, which use micro-porosity to increase the dynamic friction coefficient of ceramics and natural stones, alongside its Norust XL rust remover for porcelain and stone.

Alongside Cersaie, the Tecna exhibition is being held in Rimini, focusing on technology and surface industries. Gastronomic celebrations remain a major theme, including Bergamo’s preparation as the World Cheese Capital 2026 and various local festivals such as the Festa del Pane and Festa dell’uva. Cultural programming remains active with the Yeast Photo Festival and the ‘Tramonti tra gli ulivi’ theater series.
