Paris, Ambassador D’Alessandro visits the Maison & Objet fair

The Italian Ambassador to Paris, Emanuela D'Alessandro, took part in the opening day of Maison & Objet, one of the main international fairs dedicated to the home sector in all its forms, held in the French capital from 18 to 22 January 2024 at the Paris Nord - Villepinte Exhibition Centre.

With over 140 Italian companies in the ICE pavilions and about 300 in total, Italy is again this year the leading country in terms of number of exhibitors after France.

The Ambassador visited the various collectives of Italian companies exhibiting their products of excellence in the sectors of interior and exterior design, furnishings, giftware, textiles, and table art. In these sectors, the growing figures for Italian exports to France in 2023 bear witness to the great appreciation of our country's products and confirm that the sector is growing steadily, across multiple production sectors.
