The 2006 edition of Vicenzaoro1 closed on January 27, 2006. The international exhibition of gold jewellery, silverware, watches and gemstones had 20,000 professional visitors including more than 10,000 Italians and around 9000 foreigners from 110 countries. It got wide coverage in media and was seen as a good platform for a lot of business deals.

“Some say that this was the best January for three years”, says Corrado Facco, Fair’s General Secretary. “This is not a claim made by the Fair as it would not be correct, but feedback from the exhibitors’ representatives we met at the end of the exhibition during the traditional Advisory Committee. Buyers seemed to be of a very high level, well-motivated and on the lookout for innovation. New buyers were spotted as well as some “deserters” of previous editions. We must also highlight the great media visibility that our event enjoyed”, added Facco. He also stressed that, “This is a world with a great desire to communicate and we are working hard in this direction. The presence of so many celebrities marks a new strategy that is producing good results.”

Good figures too from Oromacchine, in terms of both visitors and business volume make Vicenzaoro1 an important platform for gold jewellery made in Italy. The next appointment is scheduled from 20 to 24 May with Vicenzaro2.
