FieraMilano SpA is a trade fair and exhibition organiser headquartered in Milan, Italy. It is the most important trade fair organiser in Italy and one of the largest in the world.
The company started operation on 1 October 2000 and has been listed on Borsa Italiana (STAR segment) since 12 December 2002.
FieraMilano 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 directly organized) and 30,000 exhibitors every year.
Most notably, FieraMilano owns and manages important infrastructures in Milan: Fieramilanocity, MiCo and Fieramilano, the latter being one of the biggest fairground in the world.
The first fair ground in Milan was opened in 1906, as the area of a World's fair, and in time for the opening of the Simplon Tunnel. The fairground at that time extended over the current area and the nearby Sempione Park.
In 1923 the fairground, at that time Fiera Campionaria, was moved permanently in the historical zone, of which Fieramilanocity now occupies a part. Western wing opened in 1997, in place of the old Alfa Romeo factory at Portello.
Since 2000, the infrastructure is managed by the new company Fiera Milano Spa and in 2005 the new Fieramilano opened in Rho. The old fairground in Milan was partially dismantled between 2007 and 2008.
