Casa Moderna 2026 in Udine: where to stay during the fair

Casa Moderna is the reference trade and public fair for everything related to the home in North-East Italy, hosted at the Fiera di Udine for more than seventy years. Furniture, interior design, renovation, windows and doors, building systems, energy efficiency, gardening and smart-home technology come together in a show designed both for families and for architects, interior designers, builders and sector professionals. The 2026 edition expands into two weekends, from 2 to 5 and from 9 to 12 October, so visitors can take in the halls at their own pace, join consultations and attend live product demonstrations. The exhibition is structured around three thematic areas: CASA Bio, focused on sustainable materials and solutions; CASA Sicura, dedicated to home safety and comfort; and CASA Green, covering outdoor living, gardening and energy savings. Running alongside Casa Moderna is the third edition of Saperi & Sapori FVG, a regional showcase of Friuli Venezia Giulia's food, wine and craft traditions promoted by the Region, PromoturismoFVG, Udine Esposizioni, the craftsmen associations and the Chambers of Commerce of Pordenone and Udine. Staying in Udine or in the towns around the Torreano di Martignacco exhibition grounds lets visitors combine business with the wider appeal of the area: Udine's historic centre, the Friulian Alps a short drive away and the Adriatic coast at Grado and Lignano. Free on-site parking and urban bus links between the city and the fairground make daily logistics easy. Tickets cost €5, with a family pass and free entry for registered professionals from Friuli Venezia Giulia, plus CiviBank discounts and cross-promotions with local media. A solid plan for anyone looking for inspiration, suppliers and a weekend in Friuli.
