Brescia Antiquarian Fair 2001 Highlights and Collector Satisfaction
Antiquarian Fair at the Centro Fiera del Garda in Montichiari (Brescia), organized by Staff Service of Brescia led by Carlo Miotto, once again received great feedback in the 2001 edition. This event reaffirmed itself as one of the most anticipated in the national trade fair scene, drawing, despite the challenging national historical moment, a steady flow of visitors from the opening of the gates and the official inauguration.
Results and Appreciation of the 2001 Edition
The elements, combined with the high specialization and quality of the event, rewarded the “Antiquarian Fair” formula. The exhibitors’ satisfaction was notable once again this year, thanks to the particular attention shown by visitors towards the works and the valuable “pieces” offered, as well as the large number of objects sold.
Carlo Miotto, sole administrator of Staff Service, expressed great satisfaction: “The event took place from November 3rd to 11th, exactly as we anticipated. It recorded considerable attendance during the two weekends and a constant presence of visitors on weekdays.”
Certainly, the presence of a qualified audience with significant collecting and evaluative skills confirmed the success. The exhibitors’ and observers’ satisfaction affirmed that the exhibition offered what it was supposed to during these days.
Attention to Collateral Events and National Value
Miotto also commented: “I am pleased with the attention shown during the collateral events, such as the space dedicated to master Cesare Monti or the gallery of ancient Kashmir carpets.”
He believes that moments like the “Antiquarian Fair” find ample space and are increasingly contributing to the national profile, managing to overcome negative phases linked to the global situation and fears due to the wartime events in Afghanistan.
In an atmosphere of crisis like that triggered by the September 11 tragedy, resuming such events has a strong significance, demonstrating the population’s will to reaffirm that life goes on and that confidence in the future is an integral part of our people.
Symbolic and Cultural Value of the Exhibition
A hope also passes through art and the splendid works offered at the Centro Fiera del Garda. Miotto thanks all his collaborators for contributing to the success of the “Antiquarian Fair”.
While Miotto declares himself satisfied, critics and art experts attending also provided positive feedback, confirming the high level of specialization achieved by the event.
Offer and Selection of Exhibited Works
“Antiquarian Fair” offered the public a wide range of interesting proposals: furniture, prints, paintings, silverware, carpets, tapestries, textiles, jewelry, watches, frames, ceramics, marbles, bronzes, crystals, glassware, and archaeology, carefully and competently selected by qualified antique dealers.
The event is already establishing itself as a “classic” on the national scene, a must for collectors and enthusiasts.
Objectives and Feedback of the 2001 Edition
For 2001, the organizers confirmed their goal of ensuring quality and variety of pieces, satisfying all the needs of the audience and offering the opportunity to admire or purchase these precious objects.
The exhibition dedicated to Cesare Monti was highly appreciated by the public, with his works characterized by soft, at times vigorous and contrasting strokes, which generated great interest.
Particularly appreciated were the gorgeous Kashmir gallery carpets and the “green works” of topiary art.
Conclusion and Future Appointment
Antiquarian Fair reaffirmed itself once again as a magnificent stage of history. See you next year!
