Description
Description
Fieramilano and Fieramilanocity, (the former covering respectively 345,000 gross m2, roofed, and 60,000 open, and 115,000 m2 the latter), interconnected by tube (red line), are able to meet the full range of exhibition requirements of trade-fair events and industries on show. The major Milanese exhibitions requiring complex logistics have been relocated to the new Centre, which has been going full steam ahead since autumn 2005, offering businesses and visitors the best conditions to the utmost satisfaction of operators. Other events, especially those for the public at large, or those requiring proximity to the city (as is the case, for example, for the fashion district), have kept their traditional seat. The new Fiera Milano, located at Rho-Pero, neighbouring the northern area of Milan, was designed by architect Massimiliano Fuksas, one of the top names in contemporary architecture. Built in a record time of just over two years, the Fair Centre underscores the quality, functional and aesthetic standards typical of the finest trade-fair architecture. The Centre hosts six single-level and two two-level pavilions, has about 70 refreshment spots and 74 halls for meetings and congresses: at the heart of the complex, alongside the service centre, lies a large congress facility with a plenary hall capable of seating up to 1,000 people. Each pavilion measures approximately 37,000 m2 and is autonomous in that it is equipped with reception, refreshment spots, congress halls and services. If required, all the spaces may be split up into two exhibition areas, used either at the same time or in separate moments. Equipped with the latest in technology, the pavilions have no pillars or encumbrances, to smoothen fitting operations and to guarantee exhibitors equal exposure and accessibility. The pavilions are connected by an elevated tunnel that allows visitors to move from one pavilion to another in a protected, air-conditioned environment. Moving walkways along the main boulevard covered by the large glass sail allow for the seamless flow of visitors along the facility’s central axis. Fieramilanocity has 8 pavilions, including the 3 large, functional pavilions located in the Portello area, the latest extension of Milan’s Fair Centre made in the Nineties. Fieramilanocity can also count on Milano Convention Center (MIC), Italy’s largest congress facility.
Places to go
Places to go
The engine of business and trade, city of fashion, home to some of the major Italian fashion icons, cosmopolitan Milan also offers interesting art sites and charming views.
Duomo This huge neo-Gothic cathedral with its hundreds of spires, rises on a huge square. From this spot, take via Dante following the chain of shop windows and reach the Sforzesco Castle. From the square again, through Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, reach the famous Teatro alla Scala square. Strolling along via Manzoni, cross the glamorous via Montenapoleone. At its tips, bustling corso Vittorio Emanuele takes you back with its rows of stores to the cathedral.
Santa Maria delle Grazie Worthwhile visiting not only for its beautiful Romanesque design of warm bricks and central, though quiet position, but also to admire Leonardo’s magnificent Cenacolo (booking in advance required).
Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio Prototype of 13th century Romanesque architecture, with its vast rectangular atrium surrounded by porticoes.
Brera Picture Gallery A treasure trove of Braidense art, home to world-famous masterpieces
