To celebrate the twenty-fifth edition of the world’s leading mouldings, frames, graphics and technologies exhibition, QUADRUM SACA chose a venue of undeniable appeal and beauty: the thirteenth century building in the heart of Bologna where King Enzo, son of the Emperor Frederick II, was imprisoned for twenty-three years. Prince Alduino Ventimiglia di Monteforte Lascaris, King Enzo’s last surviving descendant and the evening’s guest of honour, delighted those present by illustrating the great art of falconry practised by the Emperor Frederick II. |
