As Luigi Brugnaro, Mayor of Venice, has declared: “Venice has returned as queen of the seas in the most open cultural sense possible. We have shown our skills in the design and architecture of the building, also recovering traditional activities. In these days Venice has remarried the sea. As a municipal administration we have already financed the Salone for two more years. We do not want this edition to be an impromptu event, indeed the goal we have set is that it becomes a fixed appointment so much that we have already started to collect registrations for the next edition”.
