About ARTIGIAMO

ARTIGIAMO is the festival dedicated to craftsmanship and creativity that enlivens Santarcangelo di Romagna, in the heart of the province of Rimini. A market exhibition of artisan products, quality tools, live demonstrations, and workshops for adults and children, featuring wood, ceramics, leather, iron, and wool. A weekend to discover Romagna's know-how, meet artisans, and try your hand, immersed in the park of the Museum of Uses and Customs of the people of Romagna.

The Festival of Romagna's Know-How

ARTIGIAMO is the event that celebrates craftsmanship and creativity in Santarcangelo di Romagna, a hilltop gem in the province of Rimini in Emilia-Romagna. Born in 2025 from a passion for manual work, the festival brings together artisans, masters of art crafts, and tool companies in a single space, offering an authentic overview of Italian know-how. Wood, ceramics, leather, iron, wool, and traditional Romagna prints come together over two days dedicated to those who love handmade things.

What to Expect

ARTIGIAMO is not just a fair: it's an experience that engages all the senses. Among the stands, you can observe the craftsmanship up close, discover ancient techniques, and purchase unique items, while the masters share their art. The atmosphere is that of a high-quality village festival, with a focus on families.

  • Market exhibition of artisan products, tools, and machinery
  • Live demonstrations of turning, ceramics, carving, and traditional crafts
  • Hands-on workshops for adults and children (ceramics, wool, piadina, fresh pasta)
  • Food area with Romagna cuisine specialties
  • Entertainment and activities designed for children

The Setting: the MET

From the second edition onwards, the festival is held at the MET - Museum of Uses and Customs of the people of Romagna, on via Federico Montevecchi in Santarcangelo. This ethnographic museum, dedicated to the traditions and daily life of the people of Romagna, is the ideal setting for an event that aims to pass down and enhance traditional crafts. Activities take place in the museum's park and spaces, fostering a perfect dialogue between past material culture and contemporary creativity.

Santarcangelo, Land of Artisans

Santarcangelo di Romagna is famous for its ancient artisan tradition, from rust printing on fabric to the historic workshops in the town center. ARTIGIAMO is part of this tradition and helps to keep it alive, providing a platform for a new generation of artisans from all over the region. A spring event that combines culture, manual skills, and conviviality in the Romagna village.

ARTIGIAMO โ€” edition 2026

The second edition of ARTIGIAMO took place on Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, at the MET - Museum of Uses and Customs of the people of Romagna in Santarcangelo. Two days dedicated to artisan products, quality tools, and art crafts, featuring a market exhibition, live demonstrations, and workshops for adults and children. The formula from the first edition was confirmed and expanded, with new exhibitors and activities designed for families.

The 2026 edition of ARTIGIAMO marked the festival's move to the MET - Museum of Uses and Customs of the people of Romagna, an ideal setting for an event dedicated to know-how. Artisans and tool companies gathered in the park and spaces of the ethnographic museum, with a market exhibition of artisan products, tools, machinery, and innovation, aimed at professionals, enthusiasts, and the curious.

The heart of the two-day event was the hands-on workshops, open to all and without booking: from ceramics to wool processing, from piadina to fresh pasta. There were also live demonstrations of traditional crafts and a food area with Romagna specialties, all in a family-friendly atmosphere.
