SOMO 2025: Italy's Only Modernariato Fair Returns to Bergamo
SOMO – Solo Modernariato, Italy's only fair dedicated to modernariato, returns for its second edition on May 17–18, 2025, at Spazio Fase in Alzano Lombardo, Bergamo. Modernariato refers to furniture and artistic objects from the post-WWII era to the 1980s, bridging craft and industrial design. Over fifty exhibitors, including Trattabile Vintage, Nostalgye, Curiosità d’altri tempi, Bellerrimo, and The house of vintage, will showcase iconic 20th-century pieces such as Artemide lamps, Caccia Dominioni chairs, and Albini furniture. The venue is the former Cartiera Pigna paper mill, restored by Spazio Fase for cultural events. Organizers emphasize these objects' significance in testifying to design evolution and their market appeal for blending past beauty with contemporary aesthetics.
