Timetable

Saturday: 10:00 - 18:00

Sunday: 10:00 - 17:00

The Club dei Cercatori di Minerali e Fossili Ticino (CCMFT) is delighted to present the 54TH edition of the market-exhibition dedicated to minerals and fossils from all over the world. This unique and well-established event represents the most important event of its kind south of the Alps.

The exhibition, which started many years ago and is constantly evolving, aims to promote and spread knowledge in the field of palaeontology and mineralogy. Once again this year, we will do our utmost to offer visitors of all ages the opportunity to admire the natural jewels created in the millenary folds of the rocks.

Thanks to the presence of numerous Ticino, Swiss and international exhibitors, the event will offer a wide range of minerals, fossils and artistic creations with semi-precious stones and jewellery; each stand will therefore display finds, pieces and creations with their own peculiarities, expanding an already rich choice.

The event is an unmissable occasion for both enthusiasts and the curious, who will be able not only to admire these treasures, but also to purchase them, perhaps finding the perfect gift for friends or family.

To round off the event, the club will set up a number of themed display cases featuring items from special collections. This year, two particularly valuable displays will be presented: the first, from Andrea Piazzini’s collection, pays tribute to minerals from around the world, whilst the second, from Peter Rinaldi’s collection, pays tribute to the world of fossils.

The exhibition-market will be held as usual on Saturday 14 November from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday 15 November from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Pregassona festival hall, all weather permitting.
