EDIT Napoli 2025: a new chapter in authorial design at La Santissima
After six years of showcasing design across various Naples locations, EDIT Napoli is moving to higher ground—literally—by setting up at La Santissima, a venue that overlooks the city.
EDIT Napoli, the international fair dedicated to editorial and authorial design, is set to return for its seventh consecutive edition from October 10 to 12, 2025. This year, the event will take place in a brand-new location, La Santissima, a historical building in the Quartieri Spagnoli district of Naples. The venue, part of the ancient SS. Trinità delle Monache Complex, has been transformed through an ambitious urban regeneration project, making it an ideal setting for an event that champions innovation and craftsmanship in design.
A strategic move to La Santissima
After six years of showcasing design across various Naples locations, EDIT Napoli is moving to higher ground—literally—by setting up at La Santissima, a venue that overlooks the city. The move aligns with the fair’s vision of expanding its scope and reaching new creative heights. This transition follows the resounding success of EDIT Napoli 2024, which hosted over 100 exhibitors from around the world and attracted a vibrant community of professionals, creatives, artists, and designers.
Open call for national and international exhibitors
As part of its commitment to fostering global design excellence, EDIT Napoli has launched its open call for exhibitors, inviting independent designers, design authors, and companies to present their latest works. Selected exhibitors will have the opportunity to showcase their products from October 10 to 12, with a special press preview scheduled for October 9.
Among the exhibitors, a project selected by EDIT from DesignWanted’s ENHANCE showcase – staged during Milan Design Week 2025 with a strong focus on material-driven innovation – will also be invited to present their work in Naples.
The fair will also continue to feature EDIT CULT, a curated program of exhibitions that explores the key figures and narratives in global design history. This initiative, led by the event’s founders, Emilia Petruccelli and Domitilla Dardi, will further establish Naples as a pivotal hub for contemporary design discussions.
Supporting emerging talent through the Seminario program
In keeping with its dedication to supporting young talent, EDIT Napoli 2025 will once again feature the Seminario section, a dedicated platform for designers, artisans, and small businesses under 30 years old or operating for less than three years. Recognized as an incubator for emerging talent, this initiative gains even greater significance at La Santissima, a venue that embodies both historical significance and contemporary creativity.
A space where past and future converge
EDIT Napoli is not just about showcasing ideas; it is about bringing them to life. The fair’s move to La Santissima highlights its commitment to urban regeneration and sustainable design. Once part of one of the largest monasteries in Europe, La Santissima now emerges as a center for contemporary creativity, thanks to the Urban Value project that has revitalized the space. The location’s historical charm—seen in its frescoed vaults and strategic position between the Quartieri Spagnoli and the Montesanto district—adds another layer of meaning to the fair’s mission.
A continuing evolution in design
EDIT Napoli has always placed great emphasis on contextual awareness, ensuring that each edition resonates with its surroundings. Over the past seven years, the fair has explored various Naples venues, leaving a lasting impact through thoughtful engagement, innovative collaborations, and commercial opportunities.
The 2025 edition promises to continue this tradition, setting new standards for quality and accessibility in the design world. With its refined selection process and focus on storytelling, EDIT Napoli remains a beacon for companies and designers looking to present their work in a space that values originality, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
As the event returns to Naples from October 10 to 12, 2025, EDIT Napoli at La Santissima will once again generate fresh perspectives, new synergies, and meaningful connections between designers, industry professionals, and the public.
