## Location

*Further information: Italy*
Italy (Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja] ⓘ), officially the Republic of Italy is a country in Southern and Western Europe. Located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, it consists of a peninsula delimited by the Alps and surrounded by several islands. Italy shares land borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia and the enclaved microstates of Vatican City and San Marino. It has a territorial exclave in Switzerland (Campione) and an archipelago in the African Plate (Pelagie Islands). Italy covers an area of 301,340 km2 (116,350 sq mi), with a population of nearly 60 million; it is the tenth-largest country by land area in the European continent and the third-most populous member state of the European Union. Its capital and largest city is Rome.
The Italian peninsula was historically the native place and destination of numerous ancient peoples. The Latin city of Rome in central Italy, founded as a Kingdom, became a Republic that conquered the Mediterranean world and ruled it for centuries as an Empire. With the spread of Christianity, Rome became the seat of the Catholic Church and of the Papacy. During the Early Middle Ages, Italy experienced the fall of the Western Roman Empire and inward migration from Germanic tribes. By the 11th century, Italian city-states and maritime republics expanded, bringing renewed prosperity through commerce and laying the groundwork for modern capitalism. The Italian Renaissance flourished in Florence during the 15th and 16th centuries and spread to the rest of Europe. Italian explorers also discovered new routes to the Far East and the New World, helping to usher in the European Age of Discovery. However, centuries of rivalry and infighting between the Italian city-states among other factors left the peninsula divided into numerous states until the late modern period. During the during the 17th and 18th centuries, the Italian economic and commercial importance significantly waned.
After centuries of political and territorial divisions, Italy was almost entirely unified in 1861 following Wars of independence and the Expedition of the Thousand, establishing the Kingdom of Italy. From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, Italy rapidly industrialised, mainly in the north, and acquired a colonial empire, while the south remained largely impoverished and excluded from industrialisation, fuelling a large immigrant diaspora. From 1915 to 1918, Italy took part in World War I on the side of the Entente and against the Central Powers. In 1922, following a period of crisis and turmoil, the Italian fascist dictatorship was established. During World War II, Italy was first part of the Axis until it surrendered to the Allied powers (1940-1943) and then, as part of its territory was occupied by Nazi Germany with fascist collaboration, a co-belligerent of the Allies during the Italian resistance and the liberation of Italy (1943-1945). Following the end of the war, the country replaced the monarchy with a republic via referendum and enjoyed a prolonged economic boom, becoming a major advanced economy.
Italy has the eighth-largest nominal GDP in the world, the second-largest manufacturing industry in Europe (7th-largest in the world). The country has been described as the "least of the great powers", and it has a significant role in regional and global economic, military, cultural, and diplomatic affairs. Italy is a founding and leading member of the European Union, and it is in numerous international institutions including NATO, the G7, the Mediterranean Union, the Latin Union, and many more. The source of many inventions and discoveries, the country is considered a cultural superpower and has long been a global centre of art, music, literature, cuisine, science and technology and fashion. It has the world's largest number of World Heritage Sites (58), and is the world's fifth-most visited country.

### Host City

*Further information: Bologna*
Bologna (/bəˈloʊnjə/, UK also /bəˈlɒnjə/, Italian: [boˈloɲɲa] ⓘ; Emilian: Bulåggna [buˈlʌɲːa]; Latin: Bononia) is a city in and the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region in Northern Italy, of which it is also its largest. It is the seventh most populous city in Italy, with about 400,000 inhabitants and 150 different nationalities. Its metropolitan area is home to more than 1,000,000 people. It is known as the Fat City for its rich cuisine, and the Red City for its red tiled rooftops and, more recently, its leftist politics. It is also called the Learned City because it is home to the oldest university in the world.
Originally Etruscan, the city has been an important urban center for centuries, first under the Etruscans (who called it Felsina), then under the Celts as Bona, later under the Romans (Bonōnia), then again in the Middle Ages, as a free municipality and later signoria, when it was among the largest European cities by population. Famous for its towers, churches and lengthy porticoes, Bologna has a well-preserved historical centre, thanks to a careful restoration and conservation policy which began at the end of the 1970s. Home to the oldest university in continuous operation, the University of Bologna, established in AD 1088, the city has a large student population that gives it a cosmopolitan character. In 2000, it was declared European capital of culture and in 2006, a UNESCO "City of Music" and became part of the Creative Cities Network. In 2021, UNESCO recognized the lengthy porticoes of the city as a World Heritage Site.
Bologna is an important agricultural, industrial, financial and transport hub, where many large mechanical, electronic and food companies have their headquarters as well as one of the largest permanent trade fairs in Europe. According to recent data gathered by the European Regional Economic Growth Index (E-REGI) of 2009, Bologna is the first Italian city and the 47th European city in terms of its economic growth rate; in 2022, Il Sole 24 Ore named Bologna the best city in Italy for overall quality of life.

### Venue

La storia della Fiera a Bologna parte dal XIX secolo. La prima fiera importante ospitata a Bologna fu la Grande Esposizione Emiliana nel 1888, ospitata nei Giardini Margherita e inaugurata da Umberto I con la consorte Margherita di Savoia e dal Presidente del Consiglio Francesco Crispi.Nel 1901, nei locali dell'EDEN Kursal (l'attuale sede de I Portici Hotel in Via Indipendenza), si tenne la prima mostra Campionaria di Bologna.L'anno d'avvio vero e proprio delle attività fieristiche fu il 1927. La fiera si svolse nel Littoriale, l'attuale stadio Dall'Ara, terminato proprio in quell'anno.Nel 1947 nacque l'Ente Autonomo delle Fiere di Bologna che però non aveva ancora una sede espositiva fissa. Le fiere si tenevano fra il Parco della Montagnola e il Palazzo del Podestà.Negli anni cinquanta si iniziò a pensare alla costruzione di una vera e propria sede per la Fiera; venne bandito un concorso a tal proposito, vinto dagli architetti Leonardo Benevolo, Tommaso Giura Longo e Carlo Melograni. I lavori iniziarono nel 1964 con la posa della prima pietra; nel 1965 il primo blocco ospitava, per la prima volta in una sede fissa, la 29ª Fiera Campionaria di Bologna. Fanno parte di questo nucleo storico i padiglioni Una successiva importante aggiunta al quartiere fieristico di Bologna è stata compiuta nel 1972 a cura del noto architetto giapponese Kenzō Tange, a cui si deve anche il complesso dei grattacieli (il Fiera District, sede di importanti uffici fra cui la Regione e di cui l'ultimo, completato nel 2011, è il più alto del gruppo coi suoi 80 metri) per un totale di 20.000 m².Negli anni 2000 Pierluigi Cerri firma il progetto per nuovi padiglioni (il 16-18 inaugurato nel 2004 e il 14-15, inaugurato nel 2008), aggiungendo ulteriori 60.000 metri quadrati di spazi coperti. Nel 2018 vengono inaugurati i padiglioni 29 e 30, ricostruiti ex novo al posto dei precedenti. Questi sono i primi di una serie di modifiche e aggiunte previste nel progetto di espansione firmato dallo studio Di Gregorio Associati.Nel 2002 l'Ente Autonomo della Fiera di Bologna è stato definitivamente privatizzato e trasformata in Bolognafiere Spa, che è il fulcro di un sistema fieristico regionale composto da tre poli espositivi: Bologna, Modena e Ferrara per un totale di circa 200.000 m² nel raggio di 30 chilometri.Nel 2019 all'interno del padiglione 30 viene costruito un palazzetto dello sport temporaneo adibito alle gare casalinghe della Virtus Pallacanestro Bologna denominato Virtus Arena.L'attuale presidente è Gianpiero Calzolari che, dal 27 luglio 2017, è succeduto a Franco Boni.
