Florence, June 25th, 2025. Starting this morning and running until June 26th, Fortezza da Basso will host Pitti Bimbo 101, featuring 165 brands, approximately 65% of which come from abroad. This edition offers an opportunity to present the Spring/Summer 2026 kids &amp; junior fashion collections to a select audience of buyers, press, and industry professionals.
The theme of Pitti Immagine’s summer shows, Pitti Bikes, evolves into SUPER BIKE for Pitti Bimbo 101, evoking the sense of independence, freedom and balance that children experience in their first bike rides, an unforgettable moment in every child’s life.
The exhibition layout follows a promenade designed by architect Ilaria Marelli, conceived to transform the space into a child-friendly city. The path is articulated into four thematic &#8220;squares&#8221;, each dedicated to different trends for Spring/Summer 2026: from the original lifestyle proposals by Cozy Corner, to seaside vacation vibes in On the Beach, through the exotic atmosphere of Family Safari and concluding with Super Bike, a special area curated by Katie Kendrick from the blog Pirouette, which enriches this year’s theme.
“Pitti Bimbo is much more than a trade fair. It’s an observatory on the kidswear and children&#8217;s lifestyle industry, on the world of education and on the new frontiers of communication. It’s a networking hub, where the extraordinary world of children is celebrated in all its nuances,” said Agostino Poletto, General Manager of Pitti Immagine.

Florence, June 25th, 2025. A special evening is scheduled for Friday, June 27th at Villa Vittoria, where “Silence and Memory” will take place, an extraordinary event curated by Firenze Fiera in commemoration of the 45th anniversary of the ‘Ustica massacre’, paying tribute to the victims and their families.
The evening will begin at 8:08 p.m. and continue until 8:33 p.m., evoking those interminable and tragic minutes that, on Friday, June 27th, 1980, saw the downing of the Itavia DC9 over the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. The plane, which had departed from Bologna heading toward Palermo, was shot down, costing the lives of 81 people, including 13 children. The title “Silence and Memory” marks this evening of civic theatre, calling for deep reflection on the disturbing reality that, even today, the identities of those responsible for the tragedy remain unknown.
This unique and moving live event stands as a powerful testament to civic engagement, a necessary moment of remembrance, reflection and dialogue, aimed at continuing the pursuit of truth and demanding justice for one of the most tragic and unresolved episodes in Italy’s history.
Following opening remarks by Giovanni Fittante, president of Villa Vittoria Cultura, Lorenzo Becattini, president of Firenze Fiera, will introduce the remembrance of this national tragedy. His speech will be a call to all those responsible for uncovering the truth, urging them to act with determination and courage to bring justice to the victims&#8217; families.
Next will be a contribution from Ugo De Vita, author, actor and professor, who will also read selected tercets from Canto XXXIII of Dante’s Paradiso, accompanied by brief historiographical notes presented by Massimiliano Cardini.
Entry is available starting from 7:45 p.m. (tramway side, Viale Filippo Strozzi).
Free entry upon confirmation via email to: villavittoriacultura@gmail.com – freschi@firenzefiera.it

Florence, June 19th, 2025. The first edition of the international ESC Cardio-Oncology 2025 congress will open tomorrow at Palazzo degli Affari, welcoming over 400 delegates from around the world.
The event, held in Florence for the first time and organized by the ESC (European Society of Cardiology) Council of Cardio-Oncology, offers a 360-degree view of the rapidly evolving cardio-oncology field. Following the release of the first guidelines on the subject, the goal of the European Society of Cardiology is to bring together specialists from various disciplines to create synergies that will improve the treatment of oncology patients with cardiovascular complications, through an interdisciplinary approach.
Cardio-oncology is a field at the intersection of cardiology, oncology, hematology and other medical specialties, focused on enhancing care for patients at risk of cardiotoxicity due to cancer treatments. Collaboration across specialties is key to achieving better outcomes.
Congress presidents are Teresa Lopez Fernandez, cardiologist at La Paz University Hospital in Madrid, and Alexander Lyon, professor of cardiology at Imperial College London and cardiologist at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London. The local hosts are Pietro Ameri, associate professor of cardiovascular diseases at the University of Genoa, and Carlo Di Mario, full professor of cardiovascular diseases at the University of Florence and director of the Structural Interventional Cardiology Unit at Careggi Hospital in Florence.
From cutting-edge research to real clinical cases, including hands-on sessions, the rich scientific program of the two-day congress will cover every aspect of cardio-oncology care. With dedicated tracks for advanced specialists as well as general cardiologists, the congress will be a valuable educational and collaborative opportunity across all levels of clinical practice.

Florence, June 13th, 2025. The summer edition of Pitti Uomo, the most important international menswear trade show, returns to Fortezza da Basso from June 17 to 20 for its 108th edition. The spotlight will be on the Spring/Summer 2026 collections, with over 730 brands participating, 43% from abroad.
PITTI BIKES is the unifying theme of Pitti Immagine’s summer shows, introduced through new advertising campaigns coordinated by creative director Angelo Ficus, with graphic editing by Alessandro Gori and photography by Alessandro Timpanaro.
“The summer edition of Pitti Uomo brings with it a sense of concrete and a desire to work together,” commented Raffaello Napoleone, CEO of Pitti Immagine. “We continue to pay close attention to the international landscape and recent economic trends, but in June we will open the gates of the Fortezza with confidence that we can inspire optimism and trust among all our stakeholders. Pitti Uomo is a true reflection of the international fashion scene. It’s this concentration of creativity and professionalism that gives each edition the strength to turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Four days of meetings and exchange will provide an incredible boost to business and open up new development opportunities, especially in these not-so-easy times”.
BECYCLE, the Pitti Immagine event dedicated to bicycles, which debuted last year at Stazione Leopolda, will take place this year at Fortezza da Basso. It will showcase a curated selection of top cycling brands in the Sala della Ronda, which will also host the I Go Out section in a newly designed set created by Sopa Design.
The fair will be organized into five main sections: Fantastic Classic, Futuro Maschile, Dynamic Attitude, Superstyling, and I Go Out. From refined elegance for a classic wardrobe to visionary experimentation blending tailoring, innovative fabrics and luxurious details. Sportswear, streetwear and outdoor fashion will also be present, alongside trend previews from brands capable of capturing social change with genderless cuts and unconventional styles.
Homme Plissé Issey Miyake, the Japanese maison renowned for its signature fabric pleating technology, will be the Guest of Honor. Two additional brands will serve as Guest Designers: Post Archive Faction (PAF), a menswear label founded by young Korean designers Dongjoon Lim and Sookyo Jeong, which will present an exclusive event for Pitti Uomo, and Niccolò Pasqualetti, a young Tuscan designer and finalist of the 2024 LVMH Prize.
