Following the success of last spring, Abilmente returns to Superstudio Maxi with its autumn edition. From October 24 to 27, the festival of creativity gathers those who thrive on inspiration, colors, and imagination. In this event, every gesture becomes an expression of passion, transforming art into a true language of the soul. This year brings numerous innovations, starting with the beloved paper and extending to support those in need.

The autumn edition of Abilmente returns to Milan from October 24 to 27, once again at Superstudio Maxi. The much-anticipated event for crafters and DIY enthusiasts is just around the corner. It’s an opportunity to explore a world filled with creativity and materials, where imagination comes to life at your fingertips. There are plenty of new features: starting with the beloved paper and leading to projects that weave together stories, yarn, and hope.

It all begins with the scrapbooking workshops organized by ASI (Associazione Scrappers Italia). It’s a paradise for those who love transforming simple sheets into visual stories, where both beginners and experienced crafters can discover unique techniques and ideas to preserve their memories in an artistic and personal way.

It is the union that gives strength, and so from individual sheets we move to books. In the realm of imagination, it is indeed these books that come to life in the animated reading workshops organized by Cleio and the Libreria Punta alla Luna. Participating in one of these events means discovering that a book can truly change the way we see the world, page by page. Creativity takes unexpected forms at Libreria Spazio BK, one of the most vibrant and colorful bookstores in Milan, where illustrations and books become tools for artistic exploration.

But creativity is not just a skillful exercise; it is a tangible act of solidarity. This is exemplified by the Sheep Italia project, 'Blankets for the Homeless.' Thousands of people from across Italy—and beyond—come together to create handmade wool blankets for those living on the streets. Each piece is unique, crafted with care and love, serving as a tangible symbol of a community rallying around the most vulnerable. Even the smallest gesture, like knitting a simple square, can make a difference and bring a bit of warmth—both physical and emotional—to those in greatest need.

From paper to fabric, from illustrations to animated stories, every corner of Abilmente radiates a creative energy that engages and inspires. This year, the event not only celebrates art and craftsmanship but also encourages reflection on how artistic skill can be an act of generosity, transforming the efforts of many into a gesture that truly warms the heart.
