FieraMilano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FieraMilano is a large-scale exhibition centre located in the Milan metropolitan area in the town of Rho, Italy. It opened in 2005 and ranks at the top of the international trade fair sector in terms of size, functional features and building quality. It replaced the original fair located in Milan now referred to as FieraMilanoCity.
The new complex, designed by architect Massimiliano Fuksas, includes eight large pavilions with a gross surface area of 345,000 m² for indoor exhibitions and 60,000 m² for outdoor exhibitions; amenity facilities; office buildings; parking areas and a Milan underground stop which carries visitors right into the complex.
FieraMilanoCity continues operating in Milan following the opening of the new exhibition complex at Rho. It consists of the most modern and functional pavilions at the "historic" complex, which was partially closed in 2006, and continues to host smaller exhibitions with more limited logistical requirements, in addition to events that cannot be held outside the city.
