“miart is a special opportunity to create a culture within a business platform for professionals and enthusiasts - said Fabrizio Curci, CEO of Fiera Milano. “Year by year, it is growing in numbers but above all as a witness to the strategy made by Fiera Milano. It has thus become an unmissable opportunity for Italian and foreign collectors who come to Milan to find a selection of galleries that make it distinctive on the international trade fair scene. miart shows Fiera Milano’s ability to put on quality art world events: a know-how that in addition to Milan, also finds expression in South Africa, with the Cape Town Art Fair."
This is the first year in which Intesa Sanpaolo is supporting miart as main sponsor. Internationality, excellence and a focus on the cultural development of the local area are values shared by Fiera Milano and the Bank, and that, through the synergy applied to miart 2018, will help to consolidate the importance of Milan on the national and international scene, providing a further driver of the community’s economic, cultural and civil growth and development.
Michele Coppola, Head of Art and Culture at Intesa Sanpaolo, commented: “For the first time we are miart’s main sponsor and we will be so in a new way, thanks also to the partnership with an Italian artist included in our collection. Intesa Sanpaolo has always been a leading promoter and supporter of the most important cultural initiatives. Our presence at miart renews the bank’s commitment to work alongside the main organisations that promote Italy’s artistic heritage. This is particularly so in Milan in the context of the intense cooperation with public institutions that distinguishes our Culture Project. The Gallerie d’Italia (Galleries of Italy) section with the “Cantiere del ‘900” (20th century worksite) testifies to our commitment to promoting knowledge of the art of the last century in harmony with the identity of miart and its recognised international dimension.”
