    DECEMBER 2014 | PRICE €400 IN FOCUS: MILAN, ITALY THE VIEW ON THE CITY’S TOURISM INDUSTRY BEFORE AND AFTER EXPO 2015 Ezio Poinelli Director Paolo Buffa Senior Consultant www.hvs.com HVS MILAN | c/o Hemera Ventures, Blend Tower, Piazza 4 Novembre, 7, 20124 Milan, ITALY This article focuses on the Milan hospitality and tourism industry and the effect the hosting of the 2015 World Exposition is expected to have on the industry. Forecasts and impacts of the event are quite debated in the hospitality community and numbers mainly hypothetical until they will materialize, especially in the context of Italy’s complicate economic and social environment (persistent crisis, delays and scandals on the assignments of the works for Expo, etc). Despite the situation, various new hotel projects will be materializing in the next months and coming years in the greater area of Milan, aiming to leverage on Expo positive heritage and the expected possible recovery of the economy. Besides the Expo, it is very important to look at the fundamentals of the market, in order to assess how it will evolve and possibly benefit from the 6 months of global exposure, and finally how many rooms the market will be able to absorb. In writing this article, we utilise the expertise of HVS in each market to the full extent by combining our in- house data and research, interviews with opinion leaders, together with published information regarding the examined destination. City Overview Milan is Italy’s second largest city, the country’s business and financial centre, and a leader in technological and scientific research.

    Firmamento Milano at Euroluce 2019 Firmamento Milano will participate for the first time at Euroluce, introducing its entire collection and its representative values. Now more than ever, Milan is in the international spot-light. Always the capital of a powerful industrial and commercial network, it is today reco- gnized worldwide as a vital hub of culture, art, creativity, and innovation – in other words, of knowledge. In Milan, knowledge means knowing how to learn, study, search, experiment, take action, change, and risk. The culture of our city means we never stop and never accept the obvious. On the contrary, we look everywhe- re for new solutions for living in beauty and for pursuing wealth as a way to live and let live with generosity of spirit. With these values, it’s easy to see why Milan has welcomed so many start-ups and experiments in architecture, design, and fashion. This is why we wanted the name of our company to include the name Milan, to reflect our city and its values, which we believe in so strongly. We also wanted our name to include Firmamento, meaning the firmament above us, the sky sparkling with ideas. Dreams. Values. Architects. Projects. Beauty. With the support of the prestigious architectural firms who work with us, as well as a remarkable group of medium-sized companies in our region who work in various market sectors, we want to replicate the valuable-model which made Italian design globally successful. There were big Milanese architects such as Zanuso, Magistretti Castiglioni, Albini, Helg, Sottsass… now together with us in this project we have: Pierluigi Cerri, Michele De Lucchi, Benedetta Miralles Tagliabue, Parisotto+Formenton, Park Associati, Daniela Puppa, Franco Raggi, Michele Reginaldi,Attilio Stocchi, Filippo Taidelli, Cino Zucchi.

Partendo da barre in ottone, le maniglie vengono stampate, lavorate, smerigliate, lucidate, cromate e marchiate al laser. Olivari ha ottenuto le certificazioni ISO 9001 e ISO 14001 e si avvale delle tecnologie più evolute, ma ha mantenuto tutta la sapienza artigianale accumulata in cento anni di storia. Since 1911 Olivari has been manufacturing handles at its own factories in Italy where the entire production process takes place. Starting with brass billets, the handles are forged, milled, polished, buffed, chrome-plated and hallmarked with a laser. Olivari has attained ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. Though it uses the most advanced technology, Olivari preserves all the artisanal wisdom it has accumulated in 100 years of history. nero sovrastampa bianco ridotto pantone 5483 62 9 20 27 neronero sovrastampasovrastampa 3 biancobianco ridotto ridotto pantonepantone 5483 5483 6262 9 9 20 20 27 27 1911-1960 Nei suoi cento e più anni di storia, Olivari si è distinta per la qualità dei prodotti e per la reputazione del marchio. Di generazione in generazione la famiglia Olivari ha tramandato l’attenzione per i dettagli, la ricerca dell’innovazione e soprattutto la passione per il lavoro ben fatto. Nel 1911 Battista Olivari fonda l’azienda a Borgomanero, in provincia di Novara, dove ancora oggi si trovano gli stabilimenti e dove ancora avviene l’intera produzione delle maniglie. Nel 1926 la moglie, Antonietta Ramelli gli succede, prendendo in mano le redini dell’azienda di famiglia.
