20 million people are expected to come to Milan this year as it hosts EXPO 2015. But other attractions await the visitor in the fashion capital of Europe, which sits close to mountains, lakes, and coast.
The sculpture depicting a gigantic needle with a multi-coloured thread that dominates the Piazza Codorna in Milan symbolises the city’s influence in the world of fashion, but there is more than designer clothes and bags on view in the north Italian city this year at EXPO 2015, which runs between May 1 and October 31, 2015.
The universal exposition remains an unmissable showcase for countries of the world, where they display the best of their technologies and innovations, and this year – appropriately for a country renowned for its love of fine cuisine – the theme is food.
“Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life” is the common thread of Expo Milano 2015. It aims to encourage international discussion through events organised both inside and outside the exhibition space. The participating countries, of which there are more than 140 to date, will present and share technical solutions at their Pavilions. But The Milan Expo is designed not just to demonstrate technologies for a sustainable future, but to be a global and interactive event.
