Fiera Milano
Milan, Italy
Fiera Milano in Rho is part of Fiera Milano Group, together with Fiera Milano City and MiCo - Milano Congressi. The Rho trade fair complex is where the company’s headquarters are based, plus it receives most of the major B2B and B2C fairs held in Milan. It is the largest of the three venues, offering a total of 405,000 sq m of exhibition space (345,000 sq m indoors and 60,000 sq m outdoors). Fiera Milano’s capacity ranks it among the biggest exhibition sites in the world.
By hosting exhibitions related to the most representative sectors of the Italian economy and by bringing significant numbers of international visitors, Milano Fiera contributes to the socio-economic development of the region.
Although other fairs were held in the city before the first edition of Fiera Campionaria (the Milan Trade Fair) in 1920, this event is considered the cornerstone in the history of Milan as an exhibition venue. Fiera Campionaria also played an important role in promoting Italian products in the 60s and 70s. The 80s saw the Milan Trade Fair’s transformation into separate exhibitions, each focused on a different sector.
Meanwhile, the fairgrounds underwent major changes - including moving, demolition, rebuilding, expansion and reorganisation. The existing site of Fiera Milano Rho, designed by Massimiliano Fuksas, was opened in 2005. Only 3 years later Fiera Milano was selected to host the Universal Exhibition. The major event took place in 2015.
