The Palazzo delle Esposizioni wanted by the Permanent Furniture Consortium to expand its exhibition, is the work of arch.
Renato Radici, who wanted it enriched on the ground floor with a precious Venetian glass mosaic floor by artist Lucio Fontana (1899-1968).
24 m high, with a total of six floors, it has a floor plan (about 900 sq m) roughly hexagonal.
The four floors dedicated to the exhibition were unique halls, articulated into adaptable stands.
The facade toward Garibaldi Square is glazed with regular divisions; on Manzoni Street it consists of full-height vertical louvre modules.
The top floor, set back, is bordered by a terrace.
Having lost its exhibition function in the early 2000s, the building was used for offices and other activities.
On the first floor, both the transparency of the former atrium of about 200 square meters and the full view of the large mosaic floor decoration were lost due to the new division of space.
