ARTE FIERA 49 – COSA SARÀ |BOLOGNA "ITALY

 6-8 February 2026 | Preview 5 February 2026

Arte Fiera presents the exhibitors for its 2026 edition. After a brilliant 2025 edition, featuring the leading Italian galleries and the most important collectors here in Bologna, Arte Fiera now launches its next cycle with new Artistic Director Davide Ferri, working in synergy with Enea Righi, who will serve as Managing Director for the fourth year.
Arte Fiera, the longest-running Italian art fair remains a key point of reference for the
Italian art system, a role it has played since its first edition in 1974. This edition’s title, Cosa sarà (What it will be), implies energy projected toward the future; a degree of unexpectedness; a reference to the enigmatic aspect that keeps collectors and art lovers so intensely bound to contemporary art.
The public’s loyalty to Arte Fiera derives from years of familiarity with the fair’s spaces: the
two halls in which it is traditionally held, lit throughout the day by daylight, create an
ambience in which works of post-war art (Hall 26) dialog with contemporary art and latest-
generation research (Hall 25).
Exhibitors, sections, curators
Even with a few changes – a renewed team of curators, a new project for the “modern”
hall, and a different structure for the curated sections – Arte Fiera 49’s look reaffirms its
Italian identity, celebrating its many and multifaceted forms and reinforcing it with the
return of prestigious long-time exhibitors and the participation of numerous first-time
galleries. >>>
In addition to 174 galleries, there will be 12 exhibitors in the section dedicated to publishing
and 14 in the one dedicated to institutions, for a total of 200 exhibitors.

contemporary research.
