Description
Description
The new Exhibition Centre, surrounded by an extensive green area, enjoys an enchanting view on the historical upper city of Bergamo, and is strategically positioned. Inaugurated in 2003, the Fair is at the hub of a vast road network reachable from the main centres of northern Italy. The Fair is 3 km away from Orio al Serio Airport, and is well connected to Bergamo by an extremely organized public transport service. The architectural design, which took off in 2002, was developed by Essetitre from Ponteranica/ Bergamo. The Centre covers an area of 173,000 m2 and is split up into two roofed pavilions, built according to fair standards, with no central pillars, affording a more clear-cut layout for the stands. One of the pavilions acts as a multifunctional facility hosting sports, cultural and musical events. The spaces interconnect through the main body, a modern and functional element conceived down to the smallest details: from the marble flooring of the entrance decorated with arabesques and the large windows, to the new design of furnishing. The space also hosts the business area, additional accommodation services of the Fair (reception, catering), the congress hall and press room. The Fair’s congress centre is a multifunctional facility formed by two halls, one able to accommodate 400 seats, which can be split up, if required, into two settings, and a smaller hall for 35 seats. Both halls are finely furnished and fitted with the latest technologies, and are able to meet every congress need. Capping the offer of exhibition spaces, a large equipped external area of 30,000 m2, 14,000 of which usable for fair events. The area is organized into large squares equipped with all the services required and ready to accommodatetemporary tensile structures to support the roofed exhibition space. The Fair Centre has large parking facilities for about 1,800 cars, while a further parking area for 1,100 cars is strictly for exhibitors.
