Trentino Expo

Let’s discover Trentino at Expo Milano 2015 and live the beauty of the Dolomites

Feeding the planet: energy for life is the theme of Expo Milano 2015. Expo Milano 2015 looks at human history through two aspects of food production: traditional cultural values and the use of new technologies.

Trentino accepts this challenge, aware that it can boast valuable and distinctive features according to the theme of Expo Milano 2015. The first one is the Dolomites, recently recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, representing an international tourist destination and a natural area maintaining the typical diversity of the alpine area. Trentino is also renowned for research, considered to be a driving force for innovation and competitiveness of the area. Finally, the products of the land, ambassadors for Trentino at Expo 2015.

Piazzetta Trentino and Convivio represent Trentino at Expo Milano 2015

Piazzetta Trentino is a small square covering an area of 80m², situated along the main route running through the Expo displays, just a short distance from the Italian Pavilion. It is an area with very high visibility, within which a creative installation will be set up – slabs of Dolomitic rock more than 7 metres high – dedicated to the spirit of matter and the Dolomitic environment, capable of attracting, thrilling and astonishing the visitor.

Cloud computing intercepts the electronic devices of visitors to Piazza Trentino, in order to convey information, itineraries and in-depth information. It is here that the sponsors coming from Trentino will present themselves from the beginning of August to the end of October.

From 10th to 16th of July Trentino becomes a protagonist in the Italian Pavilion with Convivio.

The space is characterized by three main areas: presentation, where Trentino welcomes visitors; the story, a programme to watch and listen, immersing and enjoying oneself; closer examination, in order to learn, understand and dream.

Bringing the atmosphere of Expo 2015 alive in Trentino.

A universal event such as Expo 2015 calls on the whole of Italy and the various areas within it to present the world with the very best of its cultural, tourist and environmental resources. Through the themes inspiring the event, of extraordinary relevance and impact in the near future, Expo 2015 will become an opportunity for collective reflection and will make it possible to experience the hundreds of places and communities that make Italy so unique and extraordinary.

At the heart of the promotional, cultural, scientific and tourist events that bring the themes of Expo 2015 to Trentino there are 2 concept stores: one situated in Palazzo delle Albere in Trento, near Muse, and the other one in Rovereto, in the spaces of the Mart.

The 2 concept stores host interactive exhibitions dedicated to recounting, promoting and exploiting the main food and agriculture supply chains in Trentino, reinforcing the tourist appeal of the two main provincial museums – the Muse in Trento and the Mart in Rovereto.
