// Stalls of the Italian Fairs //
The Milan Fair (aka Fiera Milano) is a trade show that was established in 1920 to create a space where products are displayed by thousands of exhibitors from around the globe. The fair also provides a progressive and creative forum for architects, designers and artists to showcase their most imaginative work through the various exhibition booths. These images are from fairs in the mid-1950s and all demonstrate an open and optimistic spirit. I would have loved to stroll through the halls of the 1955 Milan Fair.
