- Though  it is very cold in Kirov, but hopefully I'll come to Italy rejuvenated, thanks to frost. We know Kirov very well. In my opinion, there are just millions of architects and designers from Kirov, because every exhibition in Italy, I was usually visited by guests from Russia and, as a rule, they are all from Kirov. You have a very strong community of architects and designers.

The jury will choose the best designers work in several categories: administrative building, dwelling, apartment 80 square meters, the best work on the theme of the exhibition - "Color and Light". All three days of the exhibition the citizens are free to consult with interior designers and may choose the building materials for repairs.
