Description
Description
Fiera di Verona chose GMP, the renowned Hamburg-based group, leader in international fair design (projects completed include the Rimini, Hannover and Leipzig fairs) to give a fresher look to the Fair, and soon make it one of the most modern exhibition centres in Europe. The first section of this ambitious project was completed in April 2006, just in time for the Vinitaly show. Two new 20,000 m2 pavilions were inaugurated on this occasion, which add to the previous ten. The project as a whole envisages a larger roofed area, from the current 125,000 m2 to 185,000 m2, and falls in the frame of the development of the infrastructures, rationalizing spaces and renewing its image. Work has already been completed to improve traffic inside the grounds, by cutting journey and fitting time. The second stage entails a further expansion of the roofed area (16,000 m2), the building of an 18,000 m2 tunnel that will cut the area from east to west, the layout, if not the reconstruction of all pavilions and the design of new parking facilities for over 1,000 cars under the main entrance. The third stage will see the completion of the citadel (32,000 m2), with Fiera di Verona acquiring new areas to add to the existing site. The total investment of about 152 million euro restores the ambitions and the challenge undertaken by Fiera di Verona to stand up to competition and become the international leader in the fair and congress market.
