It is with great sadness that Riva del Garda mourns the loss of Friedrich Karl Eichholz, one of the architects of Expo Riva Schuh, one of the most important footwear fairs in the world. The mayor has expressed his condolences and remembered a beloved and respected figure not only for his role in the fair, but also for his affection for the city.
Eichholz’s death is a great loss for Riva del Garda, especially in such an important year as the 100th edition of Expo Schuh. Unfortunately, he will not be able to participate in this historic milestone and the grand celebration that would have been a part of it. The mayor recalls his video message to the January edition, where his passion and determination shone through, leaving a deep impression.
Eichholz was one of the main architects of the fair, which thanks to him has gained a global dimension. His absence is a central loss for the event. After the difficulties caused by the pandemic and the expansion of the exhibition center, this absence should motivate everyone to do even more to uphold the name and prestige of Expo Riva Schuh, drawing inspiration from the memory of this extraordinary pioneer.
The mayor extends a strong embrace to Eichholz’s family, offering them all the necessary support in this time of sorrow. The city of Riva del Garda joins in mourning and remembering such an important figure for the footwear fair and the local community.
