There were approximately 33 exhibitors including hardware as well as software vendors. Quite a few were actually selling vinyl so it seems vinyl is still alive and kicking in Italy. Not a surprise given this country is steeped in history and rich in culture. Of the show sponsors, there were even cheese and wine sponsors so the quality of refreshments was certainly of a very high calibre indeed.
