EDIT Napoli: a curatorial and commercial fair at once
The Neapolitan exhibition is one of the first to express editorial and commercial content at the same time. The exhibitors of EDIT Naples 2021 will bring to the public products and projects that favor quality over quantity and that have the transparent supply chain as one of their strengths. Numerous venues will host the exhibitions; however, the main venue is once again the San Domenico Maggiore monumental complex, the ideal setting for editorial and authorial design.
