The mayor expresses his condolences and fondly remembers the man who made significant contributions to the development of this important event.
For the city of Riva del Garda, the passing of Friedrich Karl Eichholz represents a great loss, not only for the trade fair of which he was one of the founders but also on a personal level. He was a beloved and respected man by many in Riva del Garda and had a deep love for the city. It is truly regrettable that he has left us in the year of the centennial edition of Expo Schuh, a historic event and a grand celebration that he unfortunately will not be able to participate in.
The mayor fondly recalls Friedrich Karl Eichholz’s video message to the January edition of Expo Riva Schuh, where he once again demonstrated his passion and determination. His absence will be deeply felt at the fair as he was a central point of reference, thanks to his contribution in making it a globally renowned event.
After the many challenges caused by the pandemic and the expansion of the exhibition center, this loss should motivate us to do even more to uphold the name and prestige of Expo Riva Schuh, continuing the work of this pioneer and keeping his memory alive as a source of inspiration for his extraordinary abilities.
The mayor extends his heartfelt condolences to the family of Friedrich Karl Eichholz and embraces them during this difficult time.
