Abilmente before, during and after

When is Abilmente?

Abilmente Vicenza is from 17 to 20 October 2024in the Vicenza Fair. 

Are there courses available? How I can participate?

Sure! You can find all the courses, constantly updated, in the "courses" section which can be reached from the site menu. Each course has all the information on how to register, timetables and teachers. N.B. If you can't find the menu item "courses" it means that the section is not yet online... you have to wait just a little!

Is there a cloakroom service?

In the spring edition there is a wardrobe service so you can free your hands for your purchases!

Can I bring pets with me?

The access to the fair for dogs is allowed* according to the following conditions:

  • Small-sized dogs (up to 10 kg): Entry is allowed with a carrier/bag; if left on the ground, a leash and muzzle are mandatory.
  • Medium-sized dogs (10-20 kg): Entry is allowed only with a leash and muzzle, with the public advised to find alternative solutions where possible.
  • Large-sized dogs (over 20 kg): Entry is not allowed.

We have great respect for our four-legged friends, and for this reason, we want to emphasize that the Fair, given the crowds, is NOT AN IDEAL place for them.

*Note: The organization reserves the right to remove individuals who disrupt the normal course of the event or disturb other visitors, exhibit inappropriate behavior, or fail to manage their dogs.

Can I exit and enter again in the same day?

Unfortunately, it's not possible. The ticket is valid for a single entry, like in the cinema, at the stadium, or in similar situations, and for legal reasons, re-entry is not allowed.
