The last edition (March 2022), four days finally back in person in Bologna, witnessed the arrival of 1,070 exhibitors from 90 countries, including Guest of Honour Sharjah, and a programme of 18 exhibitions and more than 250 live events. Bologna Children’s Book Fair viewed the attendance of 21,432 visitors - with over 40% of professionals coming from abroad - with both gratitude and optimism. This success was achieved thanks also to the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development (MAECI) and ITA - the Italian Trade Agency.
