The evolution of the pandemic situation in Italy and the introduction of the Reinforced Green Pass / Super Green Pass (https://bit.ly/3F2Dle9) - necessary to access all trade Fair events- have created great apprehension amongst the Operators of the Footwear and Leather goods industry.
Above all, the event organisers will prioritise your Health through the implementation of a structured and firm Safety Protocol (https://exporivaschuh.it/en/covid-free) and the prompt management of the flow of people and of gatherings. It is also very reassuring that Italy (81,70%) and the other protagonist countries of Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags are now showing the best percentages of vaccinated people.
