Scrubba-dub-dub we’re all in a lather: its Cersaie time again. Nicky Lobo is on the ground in Bologna reporting back on the latest in bathing
September 26th, 2012
Once a year the Italian city of Bologna becomes the epicentre of the bathing world.
Officially titled “The International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings”, Cersaie (pron. Churr-sigh) is where the bathroom door is quite literally unlocked, flung open and the best in bathrooms and bathware are well and truly on show.
