The comments and reactions of the policy
«We have won a great challenge: to give companies in the supply chain, large and small, the best showcase to enhance international and Made in Italy excellence – commented the president of FederlegnoArredo, Claudio Feltrin -. Now we will continue in this direction, as always in close synergy with the city of Milan ».
“I am confident that thanks to the support received from the institutions and the willingness of companies to make a contribution to the success of the event, we will be able to create an innovative and attractive international and quality exhibition – said Gianfranco Marinelli, president of FLA Events -. We are aware that the success of an event such as the Salone del Mobile will be confirmed by the fact that citizens will understand and appreciate the contribution it is able to give to the country in terms of growth, image and credibility ».
The first politician to express his satisfaction was the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, who in recent days had launched more than one appeal to companies in the sector to convince them not to cancel the event: “This is good news for Milan and for the ‘Italy. The President of the Republic reconfirmed his willingness to be present at the inauguration – said Sala -. It will be a unique edition, which arrives after a year of hiatus and in a health and socio-economic context that is still delicate and complex, certainly more than attractive. The fact that this year Milan will host the Salone is in itself a message of hope and trust of great value, in view of the recovery ».
For the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, this is «a strong and important signal. Although in a reduced edition, this decision is fundamental for the operators of the sector, but more generally for the whole economic-productive system of Lombardy and of the entire country ».
«The opening of the Salone del Mobile is the news we hoped to hear: this choice makes us happy – said the Minister of Economic Development, Giancarlo Giorgetti -. But our work does not stop there: I confirm the commitment of the Mise to open a table, immediately, with all the ministers and interested parties to participate in the reopening of the Salone del Mobile in a concrete way “.
