Apart Fair 2026

Apart Fair 2026 is the tenth edition of the antiques fair held from 28 October to 1 November 2026 at the Promotrice delle Belle Arti in Turin, at viale Diego Balsamo Crivelli 11. The event is organised by APA – Associazione Piemontese Antiquari (Piedmontese Antique Dealers' Association), together with Confcommercio Ascom Torino and FIMA – Federazione Italiana Mercanti d'Arte (Italian Federation of Art Dealers), with support from the Turin Chamber of Commerce and under the patronage of the City of Turin and the Piedmont Region. Apart Fair is the leading antiques fair in Piedmont and one of the main ones in Italy, and traditionally opens Turin's art week ^[1][2].

The event

The tenth edition brings together 35 galleries from across Italy, offering a dialogue between eras and styles, from archaeology to design, from Asian art to the European avant-garde. Artists featured include Edgar Degas, Giorgio Morandi, Émile Gallé, Katsushika Hokusai, Francesco Solimena, Lorenzo Delleani and Felice Casorati ^[1][2]. The authenticity of the works is guaranteed by the scientific committee of the Federazione Italiana Mercanti d'Arte, which examines each piece before the fair opens: according to the organisers, Apart Fair is the only fair in Piedmont, and one of the few in Italy, to offer this safeguard to collectors and visitors ^[1][2].

Works on display

Exhibits include a print from Katsushika Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, a landscape by Giorgio Morandi, a Futurist work painted on a page of La Stampa from 1933, a Tibetan rug with a border of skulls, and a Chinese terracotta incense burner shaped like an elephant ^[1][2]. Of particular note is a cycle of 15th-century frescoes from Spoleto, including a young woman enthroned with a unicorn, a symbol of purity. In dialogue with these older works is a contemporary canvas by Andrea Massaioli ^[1].

Programme and talks

The programme includes themed guided tours with the curators, organised by the Associazione Gia Ascom, on Thursday 29 October at 2pm and on Friday 30 October at 10:30am and 3pm, by booking. Art talks are also scheduled: on Thursday 29 October at 6pm, the presentation of an exhibition project on Defendente Ferrari with Simone Baiocco, curator at Palazzo Madama; on Friday 30 October at 6pm, the presentation of the book "San Francesco e i francescani in Piemonte" with its author Simone Caldano; and on Sunday 1 November at 4:30pm, a talk on the Church of Santa Teresa in Turin with art historians Arabella Cifani and Carlotta Venegoni ^[2].

Hours and tickets

The fair is open on Wednesday 28 October from 1pm to 10pm, from Thursday 29 to Saturday 31 October from 10:30am to 8:30pm, and on Sunday 1 November from 10:30am to 7:30pm. A full ticket costs 10 euros, a reduced ticket with the Abbonamento Musei (museum pass) costs 5 euros; admission is free for FIMA members ^[2].
