Text Pitti Immagine Filati n.66 (Florence, 27 & 29 January 2010) is coming to an end with figures and opinions from buyers and exhibitors that display optimism about a recovery over the next few months. Just a few hours before the event closed its doors at the Fortezza da Basso, early forecasts of the final attendance figures showed that Pitti Immagine Filati was attended by almost 4,000 buyers (versus 3,900 in January 2009), a 2% increase in overall attendance. It appears that the number of Italian buyers increased by 4.5%, whereas foreign attendance figures remained at the same levels recorded for the last edition. There was a rise in the number of buyers from the United States, Russia, Holland, Switzerland, Turkey, China, Hong Kong and South Korea, whilst the figures were less positive for Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan.
