Situated in central Italy, facing the Adriatic sea, the Marche region is one of Italy’s greatest hidden gems. Famous for its Medieval and Renaissance heritage, unparalleled culinary tradition, and unspoiled natural landscapes, the region has also been a centre for ‘Made in Italy’ excellence for decades, being home to brands like Tod’s, Hogan, Guzzini, Scavolini, Ernestomeda, and many more.

Gino Sabatini, President of the Camera di Commercio delle Marche, said: “We are delighted to bring the Marche’s outstanding fashion, sport and design offering to Casa Atletica Italiana this August. The two-day programme of events is intended to introduce UK audiences to the Marche as a region of excellence, from world-class athletes to certified sport facilities; design firms of global renown to outstanding local craft and jewellery. In true Italian style, we couldn’t miss the chance to give participants an exceptional gastronomic experience with an Italian aperitivo at the end of each event, as well as sharing a valuable Marche-themed goodie bag. We’re looking forward to welcoming trade partners at Casa Atletica Italiana.”
