Now in its fith year, The MILANO international FINE ART & ANTIQUES SHOW has grown to become a much-anticipated event by collectors,
academics, enthusiasts by vocation, investors from Italy
and abroad – all brought together by the pursuit
of quality, the joy of discovery, the temptation of a
purchase as a precious investment for years to come. These
are the motivations the Milanese exhibition satisfies,
thanks in particular to the meticulous selection of participants
and consequently the excellent array of articles proposed.

With over 40% of exhibitors representing foreign
galleries and publishing houses from eight different European
and North American countries, The MILANO international FINE ART & ANTIQUES SHOW is in its scope the second-largest event of its kind
in Europe. The Vetting Committee and the Committee of Honour
also have an international dimension, featuring not only
important members of the institutions and the business
community, but also the consoles of the countries represented
by participants.

Before
the show commences, a special committee composed of authoritative
phi-lologists, art historians and experts exami-nes the
exhibits of each sector and period represented to assure
their authenticity and that the standards of historic
value are consonant with the prestige of the event.
Published in large format (32.5 x 24.5) in both Italian
and English remains as testimony to the show, featuring
colour reproductions and a thorough collection of technical
and bio-bibliographical sheets compiled with the assistance
of the exhibitors themselves.

Milan, the economic and cultural
centre of Italy, not to mention capital of design
and fashion, is also home to deep-rooted cultural
traditions and collections, where all facets of its
historical heritage strive together in the pursuit
of the avant-garde, in constant evolution. In such
a context of cultural sensitivity and participation,
the MiAS has asserted its success as the focus of
the art and antiques market in Italy. Milan, host
to veritable artistic gems: from the Pinacoteca di
Brera to Bramante's wonderful Chiesa di Santa Maria
delle Grazie with da Vinci's Last Supper in the Cenacolo
Vinciano; from the churches of San Lorenzo, Sant’Eustorgio
and Sant’ Ambrogio, the Castello Sforzesco to
the Biblioteca Ambrosiana; from the Piccolo Teatro
through to the Scala; whatever takes your fancy, Milan
offers an infinite number of leisure-time opportunities,
including an enormous variety of theatres, museums,
private galleries and boutiques to satisfy all tastes.
Set in the very heart of Milan, in the
historic Palazzo della Società per le Belle
Arti ed Esposizione Permanente, to which the internal
layout of the
show – this year with a renewed chromatic scheme
– is inspired. This national monument was built
in 1886 in the neoclassical style, designed by the
eclectic Luca Beltrami, who also took part in the
works of the Parisian Trocadero and the Palais de
l’Exposition Universelle.

Now one of the not-to-be-missed cultural
and social events of the year for Milan and beyond,
the inauguration (on invitation only) will be held
on Friday April 4th 2003, preceded by an afternoon
preview.
In the loggia or the 19th rooms of the
Palazzo, enjoy a moment of relaxation or treat yourself
to something delicious.
