THE UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION
Expo Milano 2015 is the Universal Exhibition that Milan,
Italy, will host from May 1 to October 31, 2015. Over this
six-month period, Milan will become a global showcase
where more than 140 participating countries will show
the best of their technology that offers a concrete answer
to a vital need: being able to guarantee healthy, safe and
sufficient food for everyone, while respecting the Planet
and its equilibrium. In addition to the exhibitor nations,
the Expo also involves international organizations, and
expects to welcome over 20 million visitors to its 1.1
million square meters of exhibition area.
A platform for the exchange of ideas and shared solutions
on the theme of food, stimulating each country’s creativity
and promoting innovation for a sustainable future, Expo
2015 will give everyone the opportunity to find out about,
and taste, the world’s best dishes, while discovering the
best of the agri-food and gastronomic traditions of each of
the exhibitor countries.
Expo Milano 2015 will talk about the problems of nutrition
and the resources of our planet. The idea is to open up a
dialogue between international players, and to exchange
views on these major challenges which impact everyone.

Expo Milano 2015 examines human history through the
lens of two aspects of food production: traditional cultural
values and the use of new technologies. These two aspects
do not stand apart, but are very much interconnected.
Besides being an opportunity for industry players to meet,
the Universal Exposition is part of a cultural journey that
aims to highlight the changes that the entire population of
the planet is currently facing.
From Lombardy to Piedmont, and beyond, the Italian
regions are preparing to welcome visitors to Expo Milano
2015, revealing to the world their historical and artistic
heritage, as well as their cuisine.
The Italian Pavilion will concentrate on exposing the
national food culture and tradition in terms of very high
quality products and finished goods. Italy’s presence can
be seen both inside the exposition areas, along the Cardo
and at Palazzo Italia, the representative building where
Italian State and Government representatives will be
based. Palazzo Italia will also be the location for official
meetings between Italy and other participant countries.
