MOMA Mostra Mercato dell’Artigianato 2026 in Erba: where to stay

MOMA – Mostra Mercato dell’Artigianato is Lariofiere’s yearly celebration of Italian craftsmanship, held in Erba between the two branches of Lake Como. Across two weekends in late October and early November, the exhibition centre welcomes over 150 Italian and international artisans with one-off pieces in fashion, design, jewellery, home décor and food. Visitors walk the halls and join in: hands-on workshops for all ages, live demonstrations, themed talks, performances and food areas serving local specialities. Entry is free and no online registration is required, making it an easy pick for families and travellers staying in the Brianza area. Lariofiere sits roughly 15 km from both Como and Lecco and 40 km from Milan, well served by the S.S. 639 and S.S. 36. Staying near the venue is the practical choice if you want to pair the fair with day trips along Lake Como or a stroll through Erba’s old town. The fair is organised by Lariofiere, Erba’s exhibition and congress centre, together with local institutions and partners. The full programme of workshops, talks and shows is published each year on the official website.
