Turin, Nov. 16 (LaPresse) – “This year we are close to 230,000 attendees, almost double compared to the first year, when we were dealing with Covid.

Regarding the economic impact, “we are close to €600 million,” Binaghi specified. Specifically, the direct impact amounts to €264.9 million, the indirect impact to €226.4 million, and the induced impact to €99.8 million, for a total of €591 million.
