The company started operation on 1 October 2000 and has been listed on Borsa Italiana (STAR segment) since 12 December 2002.

Fiera Milano mainly operates in the fields of management and organisation of exhibitions, trade fairs and conferences. It hosts about seventy shows (of which about one-third are directly organized) and 30,000 exhibitors every year.[4] It was involved in the Expo 2015 which took place around the grounds of the Fiera Milano Rho.

Fiera Milano Rho edit

Fiera Milano Rho, opened in 2005, is a fairground complex designed by architect Massimiliano Fuksas, located in an area on the border between the towns of Rho and Pero replacing the former grounds which were developed into the new CityLife district of Milan. The Fiera Milano Rho location is mainly used for industrial trade shows.

The Fiera Milano Rho complex was announced as the new speed skating venue of the 2026 Winter Olympics on 19 April 2023 after initial plans to put a roof over Ice Rink Piné had been rejected by the IOC. The venue will be hosted at Halls 13 and 15, from which a single space will be created for the speed skating events, with seating for 6,500.[5][6] The complex will also serve as the International Broadcasting Centre and the Main Press Centre for the Games.
