Expo Gate: Milan’s gateway to the Expo

by Bonaparte Suites, 13 maggio 2015

Situated in the heart of Milan, just 5 minutes by walk from B&B BonaparteSuites, in front of the Castello Sforzesco, Expo Gate introduces the public to Expo Milano 2015, forming a bridge between the city and the exhibition site. Since May 2014, Expo Gate has been the stage on which Milan interprets the central theme of Expo Milano 2015: Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life. Open to visitors and residents alike, Expo Gate offers a light-filled place to meet, learn and share ideas. Expo Gate was created by the Scandurra Studio and consists of two modular and transparent buildings with a light form, designed for minimal impact on the environment.

The street address of Expo Gate is Via Beltrami, right in the historic part of Milan, with the Sforzesco Castle to one side – the site of the Universal Exposition of 1906 – and, to the other, Via Dante , the street along which the flags of over 130 participating countries are displayed. This location is, therefore, the gateway between Milan and the Expo, in the same way as Milan has always been considered a gateway between Italy and the rest of the world.
