In January a delegation of IDC members along with staff members and the IDC board took part in the first IDC mission of 2019 to Milan, Italy for the HOMI Milano show, with a quick stop in Modena, for a tour of stone and tile manufacturers.<\/p>\n

The twice-annual\u00a0HOMI Milano<\/a>\u00a0is an international trade fair for interior design and upscale home d\u00e9cor, and is supported by the Italian Trade Agency, who, along with Italian manufacturers, sponsored this mission.<\/p>\n

These missions provide an opportunity for IDC to explore business ventures and forge new partnerships with interior designers and manufacturers across the globe, and when it comes to design, Milan does not disappoint.<\/p>\n

In Modena the delegates has a chance to explore the beautiful Italian countryside, taste some of Modena\u2019s finest and oldest balsamic vinegar at\u00a0Acetaia Leonardi<\/a>, but most importantly tour two local tile and porcelain manufacturers:\u00a0Casalgrande Padana<\/a>, a tile manufacturer, heavily focused on technological innovation and environmental sustainability, and\u00a0Serenissima Ceramiche<\/a>, which specializes in porcelain stoneware finishes for residential and light commercial use.<\/p>\n
