The first edition of the Paris Internationale fair in Milan is a success: The report

La prima edizione della fiera Paris Internationale a Milano convince. Il report

The Parisian satellite fair Paris Internationale successfully launched its first international edition in Milan during the city's 2026 Art Week. Hosted in the modernist Palazzo Galbani, the fair distinguished itself from traditional models like miart through a non-hierarchical layout designed by Christ & Gantenbein and NM3. The event featured 34 carefully selected galleries, emphasizing solo and duo presentations from artists such as Leonora Carrington, Benni Bosetto, and Ibuki Inoue.

This expansion marks a significant shift for the "anti-fair" model, proving that boutique, high-quality satellite events can thrive alongside major established fairs. By prioritizing architectural integration and curated intimacy over the "bulimic" quantity often found in larger Italian fairs, Paris Internationale offers a sustainable alternative for collectors and galleries seeking a more focused and sophisticated market environment.
