Salone del Risparmio is the reference event in Italy for the asset-management industry, organised by Assogestioni — the Italian Association of Asset Management — and hosted each spring at MiCo Milan (Fieramilanocity). The event runs across three days of conferences, panels and workshops dedicated to wealth management, financial advisory, private markets, sustainable finance, the ESG transition and technological innovation applied to investment services, and gathers asset-management companies, banks, asset managers, family offices, financial advisors, managers, academia, institutions, regulators and financial press. The calendar runs alongside an exhibition area, networking moments and evening side events that involve thousands of industry operators, and sits between the European proxy season and the European Sustainable Finance Days.
Corp-Merch.IT works with several asset-management companies, private banks and family offices that join Salone del Risparmio, and is familiar with the representation conventions of the Italian financial sector: institutional welcome bags with understated graphics, drinkware in high-grade steel or ceramic, coordinated speaker kits for the panels and lectures, apparel for the reception teams, representation gifts for supervisory authorities and financial press. We work with a network of Italian producers aligned with financial-sector positioning: Como for textile, Meda for leather, Vigevano for small leather goods, Maniago for small metalwork, Feltre for technical paper, Pesaro for eyewear, Faenza for institutional ceramics. For speaker kits and institutional welcome bags we propose graphic pre-production and samples at the studio, with a 48-hour turnaround between brief and structured proposal. For editorial materials and institutional welcome bags we work with partners specialised in climate-controlled transport so that dossiers, confidential documents and representation materials keep their condition through the temporary-warehouse phases.
For buyers with Italian VAT registration the invoice goes out in EUR with 22% VAT via the Italian Sistema di Interscambio (SdI) of the Agenzia delle Entrate; reduced 10% VAT rate applies to editorial materials, 5% to books under Italian tax law. Reverse charge for intra-EU buyers with a valid VIES number, split payment for public entities and self-invoicing for institutions that request it, in line with art. 17 of DPR 633/72. For clients subject to CSRD reporting (D.Lgs. 125/2024, transposing Directive (EU) 2022/2464) we provide a sustainability data sheet per order with Scope 3 CO₂e estimates under the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain on the Italian legs and on the provenances from the named districts, aligned with ESRS E1 (Climate Change), E5 (Resource Use) and S2 (Workers in the Value Chain). For clients with VAT registration in non-EU countries the invoice goes out without Italian VAT citing the relevant regulatory exemption, and for intra-EU buyers reverse charge applies with the relevant article cited in the invoice.
The Salone calendar is placed between the European proxy season and the European Sustainable Finance Days, and MiCo Milan concentrates a network of asset-management companies, private banks and advisors that orbit the event. Direct deliveries to MiCo must be coordinated with the loading windows published by Assogestioni and with the venue's logistical plan; a buffer at a Milan hotel or at our hub lowers the risk of off-window deliveries. For programmes with several operating venues (MiCo, partner hotel, press room, satellite rooms) we prepare separate packing lists per destination with dedicated on-site labelling, and we operate with couriers who know the ZTL constraints of Milan's historic centre and the loading windows of the conference halls at the Porta Volta campus. For programmes that include institutional dinners, awards lots or evening side events we manage deliveries with dedicated slots for each moment of the event.
Recommended merch mix for the event
Institutional welcome bags
Textile, recycled-cotton or leather bags, editorial kits, representation dossiers and branded accessories for institutional investors, family offices and participating managers, with understated graphics and materials aligned with financial-sector positioning. FSC-certified paper packaging with per-recipient labelling and, on request, confidential dossier for institutional delegates.
Drinkware for the audience
Stainless-steel water bottles, ceramic mugs, branded thermos flasks for welcome bags, coffee-break areas, the bookshop and the panel rooms of MiCo, with attention to tightness and durability. Understated single-colour print, laser engraving or relief logo for the institutional graphics of the financial sector.
Speaker kits and representation materials
Notebooks, metal pens, press folders and institutional gifts for speakers, moderators, supervisory authorities and financial press, with the option of personalised numbering for top-profile speakers. Framed FSC-certified paper for the notebooks, recycled metal for the pens, Scandicci leather for the press folders.
Reception team apparel
Polo, sweatshirt, badge holder and small backpack for the reception, logistics support and room-staff teams during the three days of the event, with differentiated sizing for hostesses, stewards and stage personnel. Computerised embroidery, understated print or heat-applied graphics for the sector-coordinated artwork.
Production and logistics to MiCo Milan
Before launching production we confirm artwork, quantities, packaging and on-site recipient. MiCo Milan is subject to very restrictive vehicle-access rules; courier access passes are nominal and issued by the venue direction in coordination with Assogestioni. Loading windows must be cross-checked with the official calendar of the three days and with the logistical plan published for participants. For speaker kits and institutional welcome bags specific packing rules apply: single-piece wrapping, per-recipient labelling, dedicated packing list and, on request, alignment with the speaker's calendar (delivery to room, hotel or press room).
For an Italian programme routed through Milan, shipments are consolidated at the hub and forwarded by BRT, SDA, GLS or DHL Express Italy with 24-hour windows across most Italian postcodes. For deliveries to MiCo we typically propose a primary address at a partner hotel of the Salone, and a second direct delivery to MiCo in the official build-up window, after Assogestioni has confirmed the consignee, gate and pass. Goods travel with DDT, packing list and origin declaration; for clients subject to CSRD (D.Lgs. 125/2024) we integrate a Scope 3 CO₂e sheet under the GHG Protocol on the Italian legs and on the provenances from the named districts, aligned with ESRS E1 (Climate Change), E5 (Resource Use) and S2 (Workers in the Value Chain).
For financial programmes addressed to the territory and institutions, we work with producers that hold FSC chain-of-custody on paper and board, OEKO-TEX certification on skin-contact textiles, and lot-traceability for representation materials addressed to the financial press and supervisory authorities. On request we integrate verifiable environmental claims on label, product sheet and sustainability report, and we operate with partners that know the representation conventions of the Italian financial sector. For programmes that also involve evening side events or awards lots we prepare a separate logistical calendar with dedicated slots for each moment of the event.
Preparation timeline
10–12 weeks before opening: lock the product list, quantities and print methods for institutional welcome bags and speaker kits, with attention to alignment with financial-sector positioning and representation conventions.
6–8 weeks: approve a physical or pre-production sample for screen-printed shoppers, speaker kits and welcome bags.
4–5 weeks: close production, AQL 2.5 quality check and per-recipient labelling.
Final week: reconfirm pass, loading window, destination room and on-site contact, with separate delivery handling for the partner hotel, press room and satellite rooms.
Frequently asked questions
When should we place the order to be ready for the Salone opening?
Ten to twelve weeks is the safest window for institutional welcome bags, speaker kits and representation materials aligned with the Salone calendar. Tighter programmes are possible only after stock, branding and venue access are all confirmed, and accepting to work on reduced quantities or on stock products. For programmes with coordinated graphics across multiple speakers or multiple brands we recommend adding one or two weeks of buffer for graphic validation.
Can we ship directly to MiCo Milan?
Only after Assogestioni has confirmed the loading window, the exhibition-district access and the named consignee. For speaker kits specific packing conditions must be agreed in advance (single-piece wrapping, per-recipient labelling, dedicated packing list) to preserve the integrity of the material through the temporary-warehouse stages. For complex programmes we typically propose a primary address at a partner hotel and a second direct delivery to MiCo in the build-up window.
Can we handle separate welcome bags for the broad audience, family offices and press?
Yes. Salone welcome bags require specific planning and often split deliveries by recipient type (institutional, family office, advisor, press). We prepare separate packing lists per destination with dedicated on-site labelling, and we manage separate delivery windows per channel. For programmes with evening side events or awards lots we prepare a separate logistical calendar.
