A bit of history
The origins of the Rimini Fair date back to the 1940s, when the city began to organize the first exhibitions related to tourism and local crafts. With the economic boom and the development of the Adriatic Riviera as a tourist destination, the fair gradually transformed into a modern and cutting-edge structure.
The current exhibition center, designed by architect Volkwin Marg of the Hamburg-based GMP firm, opened in 2001. The structure features innovative and sustainable architecture, including 16 modular pavilions, a 730-seat auditorium, and large outdoor areas.
An exhibition center of excellence
With a total surface area of over 189,000 square meters , the Rimini Fair is today one of the largest exhibition centers in Italy. Every year it hosts events of global importance, including:
- SIGEP: International Exhibition of Artisan Gelato, Pastry and Bakery.
- Rimini Wellness: dedicated to fitness and well-being.
- Ecomondo: the main European fair dedicated to the green economy and the circular economy.
