Hello everyone, today I will take everyone to visit the Artigiano in fiera fair in Milan, Ro-Pero 2024, which this year will be held from Saturday, November 30 to December 8. The fair is open from 10 am to 10 pm. This fair is an exhibition of more than 3,000 craftsmen from almost 100 countries around the world. There is also an online sales booth at this fair.
- Artigiano in fiera is a fair that improves and promotes products representing each country, as well as traditions, cultures, and various foods, which are presented in various shops. There are presentations of tools and products from various shops from all over the world. The presentation of products is done through stories about the origins of the products. In addition to the aforementioned handicrafts, there are also presentations of cultural performances, music, or tourist attractions. This event also allows us to choose to buy food from each country by coming together in this fair.
- To enter this event, you must register online and will receive a QR code in your email. We registered before arriving at the event. This time, my sister and I went on Sunday, which was the second day. We arrived at the event around noon. When we arrived, we found a parking spot and walked into the fair. Before entering the fair, we had to scan the registered QR code with the officer. After passing through, we walked to the bag check point through the scanner for safety in case someone was carrying a weapon. Today, the weather was quite cold. People started to flow in. There were a lot of people at the event. After that, we followed each other.
- We walked down to the event to see the products from each shop. It was divided into zones by continent and country. We walked to the Asian zone and saw many shops. Then there was Africa. Each zone had products made by craftsmen for sale. There were a lot of shops, about the same number as the number of people who came to the event. Some zones were so crowded that there was almost no place to walk around and look at the products. In Thailand, there was a Thai massage shop. We tried to find Thai food, but there was none. There were many shops selling Buddha images. There were accessories that were believed to bring good luck, clothes, bags, and shoes. There were so many to choose from that we couldn't decide.
- In addition, there were teas, drinks, and furniture. Each shop had its own selling point. In addition to household items, there was food. I must say that there were a lot of Italian products, both food and household items. The food zone was crowded in almost every shop. We tried to walk around to find food because we were getting tired from looking at products. Some shops offered free samples. We didn't want to wait in line for long because some shops were packed with people so we had a simple sandwich. At first, we planned to go to the Sicilian zone in southern Italy because this place is very famous for its food. But unfortunately, we went to the other side which was nearby, so we had a sandwich because we were very hungry at that time.
- After we finished eating, we planned to walk around the Sicilian zone. We turned to the other side and found it. It was a shame that we didn't walk there or we would have eaten delicious food. But we didn't miss it because we planned to try the original dessert here, Cannoli. We bought it and liked it so we bought some for our parents. My younger sister got a white chocolate dessert, Turon Candy. We each got one to take home.
- We walked around, circled around several times but not all countries. We got lost a few times. Lol. It was so confusing to find the way out because the event was so big. Actually, they had a map but we were still confused. We just walked around randomly until we felt tired and wanted to find our way home. Because there were more people, the more we walked in, the more crowded it was, we could barely move, so we all went back. It took a while to find our way back, lol. Luckily I took a picture before, so I walked around looking for it according to the picture. Even after taking the picture, I still got lost. Think about how big the fair is.
- For those who want to come to visit, this fair is still have until December 8th. And who are interested in coming will definitely like it because the best thing is that I have gathered many good things from many countries in the fair. I hope everyone likes and enjoyed my post this time. Thank you for following. Have a nice day.
