Milan Trade Fair

Milan Trade Fair

AprilThe Milan Trade Fair was originally started in 1920 to allow Italy and other European countries to display their products. It grew into a 10-day event in April hosting 35,000 manufacturers from 110 countries, 25 of whom had their own pavilions. Although the trade fair is a boost for Milan's economy, the city was chosen primarily because of its geographical proximity to the rest of Europe. Today the center hosts more than 70 shows year round. There are also buildings devoted to the products of the various regions of Italy, with displays of leathercrafts, jewelry, textiles, graphic arts, fashions, and ceramics.
