Edition number 43 of Oroarezzo closed today with +14% foreign visitors at Arezzo Fiere e Congressi and +5% overall attendance compared to last year’s edition. Italy in constant growth at 4%.
In 2023, Oroarezzo saw the start of a recovery with an overall +40% in attendance rewarding the event project that Italian Exhibition Group had shared with trade associations, companies and local stakeholders.

Today saw confirmation of further growth proving how the quality and variety of the exhibitor offer at Oroarezzo ideally matched the profile of the foreign buyers hosted. Manufacturing, jewellery, components, semi-finished products and technologies met their reference markets in Arezzo and were able to open up others thanks to IEG’s incoming programme in collaboration with ITA Italian Trade Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and IEG’s international regional advisors. Arezzo played a leading role with events outside the expo centre and an experiential tour of the City of Gold, co-organised with Confguide Confcommercio Arezzo.

In his opening greeting, Maurizio Renzo Ermeti , President of Italian Exhibition Group, emphasised that «Oroarezzo is held in the heart of Italy’s most important gold and jewellery export district and is a showcase of the workmanship that only Made in Italy knows how to achieve with unparalleled creativity and the most advanced technologies. The evolution of Oroarezzo, which we have shared since last year with the stakeholders in the area, is beginning to yield results: the number of exhibitors is growing, we are almost at 400, and the number of countries from which our hosted buyers come is increasing: over 60.”
