Feeding the Planet

Milan was selected as the host-city for the Universal Exposition and Italy chose Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life as its central theme. Expo Milano 2015 will show the problems of nutrition and the resources of our planet.

The History of the Universal Exposition

The Meaning of Expo The first edition was in 1851 in The Crystal Palace of London. It was the perfect stage to show the most ambitious successes of Man. It is an occasion to share technologies, innovation and discoveries. The Eiffel tower was built in Paris when the city hosted the Exposition in 1889.The Universal Exposition is a non-commercial exhibition. It was the place to present creativity and knowledge and where every country could demonstrate what it had to offer to the world.

The Universal Exposition takes place on a dedicated site and all the other countries are invited, through diplomatic channels, to participate.

Every Universal Exposition leaves behind monuments and buildings that are treasured by the host city, like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Atomium in Brussels or the Space Needle in Seattle. But that is not all: the Universal Exposition is an opportunity to change the face of the city, to improve quality of life for its citizens and to attract more tourists. The Universal Expositions of Shanghai, Lisbon, Brisbane, Spokane and many other cities have left the legacy of modern neighborhoods, new infrastructures, parks and museums.
