The main three were: awaiting the fair with the slogan “I
am waiting for Proposte”, present on the advertisement;
travelling to the fair with the slogan “I am going to
Proposte”; and the reward for being at the fair with the
slogan “I am at Proposte”, which can be seen at
the reception.
For
months the Proposte mascot has spread kindness and optimism.
The figure is a large and strong symbol of Made in Europe textiles,
with a full range competition on all markets.
