Description
Description
Located close to the major routes, just a few minutes away from the A14 motorway toll booth, and easily reachable from the old town centre, the Forlì Fair encloses a citadel of multifunctional and multi-purpose facilities. The exhibition centre is situated in an industrial-type architectural design covering a total area of 45,000 m2. It holds four adjoining pavilions, directly linked for about 20,000 roofed m2, all boasting direct access from the outside. Thanks to flexible spaces and colquality services, the Fair is set to welcome different sorts of events: business meetings, seminars, sports matches, concerts, art shows and specialized fairs. Moreover, the recent restyling of the pavilions, the new entrance to the fair grounds and, most of all, the new ultramodern Conference Hall, have polished up its image and raised its ambitions. The opportunity of new equipped spaces has made it possible to host large-scale events inconceivable only a few years ago. The Conference Hall covers a good 1,100 m2, and can seat up to 1,000 people. This modular facility, featuring a theatre-like setup with stage, is equipped to host meetings, talks and presentations (either business or political). The congress area is organized around three communicating modules, separated by sliding sections, capable of satisfying every exhibition requirement. All the spaces can be furnished, depending on organizers’ needs. The first 400 m2 module is the foyer; the second holds the central hall, the more flexible section, available as a showroom or inviting sitting room for coffee breaks and buffets. The third module is the smallest, accommodating some 250 seats. If required, for minor meetings, the Fair has smaller rooms for 80 to 120 people, all perfectly fitted. Capping the offer is Palafiera, able to host over 6,500 people. A flexible space in tune with the quality standards and the facility’s services, capable of adapting to host customized events. Thanks to the first-class local hotel accommodations and ample parking facilities, the Fair can host important events of international stature.
Places to go
Places to go
A city that displays conflicting features, with the peaceful daily atmosphere of its winding alleys and soothing views, clashing in some instances with a deep sense of estrangement from its Romanesque origins. Forlì witnessed a period of heavy changes when it became the “city of the Duce”, burdened by the bombastic symbols that radically altered its appearance.
Piazza Aurelio Saffi The town centre, with its mostly modern look from the heavy changes made during the 20-year Fascist period. On the north-west side stands the Town Hall, medieval structure often renovated.
San Mercuriale The most famous monument in town, whose presence in the square is felt especially for the soaring Romanesque bell tower (1178-80).
Picture Gallery On the second floor of Palazzo dell’Ospedale Vecchio, with paintings mostly by the Romagna
schools (XV-XVII centuries). The entrance hall hosts Antonio Canova’s Ebe; on the walls, famous masterpieces also by Guercino.

Fornò Sanctuary Just 12 km from Forlì, along the SS 67 national road, pass by the parish church of Santa Maria in Acquedotto, and stop to admire the Santa Maria delle Grazie sanctuary, also known as Fornò. Founded by Pietro Bianco da Durazzo, the sanctuary’s circular complex holds a precious terracotta decoration.
