The project was named ITA: EXPORT SUD ITALIA.As part of this program, 12 companies will take part in the exhibition, for which a special pavilion has been organized.These companies will be able to hold business meetings in special B2B zones and use the services of the information center.

In 2017, Russia increased the import of Italian shoes by almost a million euros (its growth was 30% compared to 2016), and this clearly indicates the recovery of consumption rates.At the same time, the choice of the Russian consumer is increasingly inclined in favor of Italian products that conquer with style, execution and high quality.
