Organiser

Associazione Festival della Bellezza, with the support of the Comune di Verona, Fondazione Cariverona and cultural partners of the area

The Festival della Bellezza — promoted by the Associazione Festival della Bellezza with the support of the Comune di Verona, Fondazione Cariverona, Regione Veneto and a network of cultural partners of the area — is the cultural festival that every year, between summer and autumn, brings to the historic theatres and venues of Verona encounters with the protagonists of culture, philosophy, music, art and literature. The season spans evenings at the Teatro Romano, Teatro Nuovo, Teatro Ristori, Teatro Camploy, the historic cloisters and other city spaces, with a programme ranging from the lectio philosophica to the recital, from the concert to the scenic reading, from the artist meeting to the round table. For the speakers, artists and productions joining the programme the calendar is packed and the recipients are heterogeneous: evening audience, cultural critics, twin festival delegations, artistic directors of cultural networks, programme sponsors.

Four audience tiers, four distinct kits

The philosopher or writer holding a lectio or talk at the festival needs a discreet, curated kit: cabin–size branded trolley, coordinated beauty case, bilingual agenda, personal accreditation pass, a small leather folder for proofs and materials. The musician or artist participating in a recital or performance requires a more structured kit: leather folder, bilingual agenda, season catalogue, country-of-origin item, multilingual labelling. The accredited cultural press — correspondents of Italian and foreign outlets, critics of Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore, Le Figaro, El País, Frankfurter Allgemeine, cultural magazine editorial teams — receives materials functional to coverage: document folder, agenda, quality pen, bilingual press sheets, service communicators. The evening audience expects a coordinated, portable souvenir: cotton shopper, festival bookmark, coordinated small stationery.

Production on Italian supply chains

For a merch programme around the Festival della Bellezza, our operational hub manages the full chain. We receive the production’s master artwork files (AI, EPS, PDF/X-4 with CMYK images at 300 dpi, FOGRA39 colour profile) and adapt them to the different customisation techniques: water-based screen printing on GOTS-certified organic cotton for tote bags and sweatshirts, hot foil stamping on FSC-certified paper for programme booklets and press sheets, laser engraving on Scandicci small leather goods for speaker and artist folders, sewn binding for season catalogues, laser marking on Maniago stainless steel for keyrings and small accessories. The pre-production physical sample with Pantone colour map and technical sheet travels on Italian supply chains (Scandicci leather, Maniago steel, Fabriano paper for art prints, Collodi wood for small items) and the delivery reaches the Teatro Romano, a hotel in Verona’s historic centre, a consolidation warehouse in the Veronetta area or the production’s office, on slots agreed with the production’s contact.

Why the Veneto hub matters

Most speakers, artists and productions running a programme around the Festival della Bellezza coordinate their Italian operations from Milan, Rome, Verona or their home cities. The Veneto hub — with consolidation warehouses in Verona, Vicenza and Padua — lets us receive graphic files with the production’s team, route the pre-production sample through Italian supply chains and dispatch the batch to the Teatro Romano or the delegation’s hotel on a very short window, twenty-four hours from the Veneto. For programmes that bring together an Italian production and a European co–production we handle bilingual materials (Italian and English at minimum) and, on request, full multilingual release with translations aligned to ISO 17100. For programmes that pair the Festival della Bellezza with the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, the Ravenna Festival or the Festa del Cinema di Roma we replicate the logistics across the two dates with a single operational contact.

Production, logistics and invoicing towards Verona

Before starting production we close master artwork files, quantities per production and per recipient, packaging and named receiving point. The final delivery address is locked against the production manager’s or the production’s logistics contact’s calendar: the Teatro Romano, a hotel in the historic centre, a consolidation warehouse in the Veronetta area or the production’s office. The ZTL access constraints in Verona’s historic centre and the city’s traffic patterns condition the loading slots, which is why most teams opt for early-morning or after-20:00 deliveries, when commercial vehicles are again admitted into the central areas.

For an Italian programme routed through the Veneto deliveries are consolidated at the hub and shipped to the Teatro Romano or the delegation’s hotel with 24-hour windows via BRT, SDA, GLS or DHL Express Italia, by appointment for venues that require telephone notice. For programmes above 1,000 pieces we offer appointment delivery with telephone notice and, on request, on-site set-up by our staff at the press room or the production’s hospitality area. For materials requiring controlled environmental conditions (FSC-certified paper, catalogues, small leather goods) we coordinate temperature-controlled transport with specialised partners. For kits destined for international delegations we handle multilingual labelling (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Arabic) and tamper-evident bag packaging with bilingual packing list addressed to the recipient. For clients subject to CSRD reporting (Italian Legislative Decree 125/2024, transposing EU Directive 2022/2464) we attach a per-order sustainability sheet with Scope 3 CO₂e estimate under the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain for the Lombardy–Veneto route.

All Italian B2B orders are invoiced in EUR at the standard 22% VAT rate (with reduced rates of 4%, 5% and 10% applied when the product category allows it: publishing, art objects, designation-of-origin products) and routed through the Italian Revenue Agency’s Exchange System (SdI) to the recipient code or to the buyer’s certified email (PEC) address. Corp-Merch.IT is an Italian VAT-registered entity, listed in VIES for intra–EU transactions, and handles reverse charge, split payment and self-invoicing for public administration in line with current Italian legislation.
