Where can you find the best artisan products of each country in one roof?

L’Artigiano in Fiera is the most awaited Christmas Market of Milan, Italy. It is where you can find the best artisan products of each italian region from north to south and the best crafts from Europe, Africa, Asia and America. It is held every year, usually in the first week of December, in time with the feast of Saint Ambroeus holiday. The best time for the locals and tourists to do their early christmas shopping.
