Fiera Milano
The construction of the New Expo Centre, in the former Agip refinery area in Rho-Pero on the outskirts of Milan and on the main road to the International Malpensa Airport, is the first stop in the Milan Expo "system" redevelopment process. The new expo centre is designed by Massimiliano Fuksas, one of the leading international architectural experts in the study of urban problems in large metropolitan areas. It provides exhibiters and visitors with eight enormous pavilions, catering services, parking and infrastructures. All these features rank Lombardy's large new expo centre at the top of the world expo market for size, practicality and architectural quality.
