Notebook nr.4 | TOLLEGNO 1900
The Notebook nr.4 tells about the participation of Tollegno 1900 in the Fiere Campionarie of the first half of the 20th century all over the world because the company was already very important at that time and therefore took part in all the most famous commercial exhibitions of the period. The archive preserves the documents of participation in the fairs, the correspondence with the fitters and with the artists who took care of the scenography and in some cases the sketches of the stands. For the Fiera di Milano, the FdM Foundation has kindly provided us with images of the stands that are kept in their historical archive. Creating connections between historical archives that can fully illustrate a specific story is always very exciting for the Tollegno 1900 archive team.
