Despite Donald Trump’s implementation of stringent trade tariffs on April 2, 2025, the fair experienced a robust turnout and encouraging sales, especially in modern art. Galleries benefited from eight awards, including €100,000 distributed among 11 artists. Significant sales included pieces by Marinella Senatore, Maggi Hambling, and Alessandro Pessoli.
