It was not easy to find a date that was compatible with the needs of the various players in the art market as the coronavirus emergency (COVID19) changed the calendar of the various events with shifts in the following months which also affected the period after the summer break. At first rumors suggested a postponement of the miart towards the end of May, before the appointment with the Salone del Mobile, postponed from 16 to 21 June, but the solution prevailed of transferring the fair after the summer break, far away (hopefully) from the current emergency situation and not in the vicinity of other fairs of the caliber of Art Basel-Basel which remains fixed for the moment in June from 16 to 21 in conjunction with the Salone del Mobile in Milan.
