About Salone Alto Artigianato
Craft professions in the heart of the Arsenal
The Salone dell'Alto Artigianato Italiano is held in the evocative Tese dell'Arsenale (Arsenal Warehouses) of Venice, the historic shipbuilding spaces of the Serenissima Republic. Organized by Vela Spa for the Municipality of Venice, the event celebrates the excellence of Italian artistic craftsmanship by bringing together masters from all over the peninsula.
What you'll find
The Salone covers a wide range of sectors: goldsmithing and jewellery, ceramics, blown glass, fine fabrics, designer furniture and furnishings, and much more. Visitors can admire and purchase unique creations, meet the master artisans in person, and witness live demonstrations that reveal the secrets of their crafts.
A rich cultural programme
Alongside the exhibition, the programme offers workshops, conferences, and in-depth events dedicated to artistic craftsmanship, product innovation, design, and experiential tourism. A proposal that intertwines market, culture, and training.
A showcase of Made in Italy in Venice
Included in the city's top events calendar, the Salone enhances the link between Venice, the Veneto region, and the great tradition of Italian craft professions, from Murano glass to the historic workshops throughout Italy.
