Piero Crocenzi (Avezzano, February 12, 1979).

During his studies in Management Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Turin, he became a member of the Associazione Universitaria JEToP. In this context, he took his first steps in event organization by creating Carriera & Futuro, the career day of the Polytechnic University of Turin.

In 2002, he was called by the Fondazione per il Libro, la Musica e la Cultura  to organize Mestieri in Mostra – the Salon of Professional Opportunities, a collaboration that continued as the head of the Technical Office of the Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino from 2007 to 2019.

In 2006, along with Silvio Viale and Barbara Carena, he founded Eventi 3 srl, a company specialized in organizing trade fairs and conferences, currently active in Italy and abroad with dozens of events organized and held every year, employing more than 20 people.

Since 2006, he has been in charge of the technical office of the Fiera della Piccola e Media editorial di Roma, Più libri più liberi, which is held at the Nuvola Eur Convention Center.

For ten years, from 2008 to 2018, he was the Head of the Technical Office of Terra Madre, Salone Internazionale del Gusto, and some Slow Food events such as Cheese and Slow Fish.

In 2018, following the liquidation of the Fondazione per il Libro, la Musica e la Cultura, he became a member of the Associazione Torino, la città del libro.

The Association won the auction for the brand of the Turin International Book Fair and became its owner.

From 2019 to the present, he has held the role of CEO of Salone Libro srl, a company that organizes, markets, and communicates the Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino on behalf of the Association.

Piero Crocenzi is passionate about natural wines: from this interest, two projects were born, C’era una voltaand Augusta, natural wine fairs in Italy that welcome dozens of producers from all over Europe every year.
