From May to October, Milan,
organizer and host of the 2015
Universal Exhibition, becomes
a global showcase where 140
countries and some leading
international organisations will show
the best of their technologies. The
2015 Expo offers a concrete answer
to a vital need: guarantee healthy,
safe and sufficient food for everyone,
while respecting the planet and its
equilibrium.
On its 1million square meter
exhibition area, Expo 2015 will tell
everyone about the world’s best
dishes with tasting opportunities,
while displaying the best of the agrifood and gastronomic traditions of
each of the exhibitor countries.
Outside the exhibition area, located
in Rho, a few kilometres west of
centre Milan, the entire city will
play an active role with thousands
of cultural and recreational events
organised throughout the city, such
16
as the largest exhibition so far of
Leonardo da Vinci with works of the
Renaissance icon borrowed from
Italian and international museums.
For more excitement, visit the
magnificent gothic Duomo
Cathedral, or purchase opera tickets
for an event at the famous La Scala
theater, or attend one of the more
than 140 spectacles during the sixmonth expo. If you’re a shopping
enthusiast, Milan, as a global fashion
capital, is near paradise. From the
best in value-for-money dining and
phenomenal fashions, you’ll find
it in the magnificent city of Milan.
Football fans will get their treat as
well, as both AC Milan and Inter play
at home in the city.
To enjoy the Milan good life, don’t
forget to stop by Caffé Camparino,
just next to the Duomo, for an
aperitif. The bar opened in 1915 by
Gaspare Campari, the inventor of…
well you know what!
