EXPO 2015 PIASTRA represent the entire viabilities of the International Exposition of Milano EXPO 2015. Probably the main Italian public job of the last years and very challenged too. Visited every day from huge people on DECUMANO and CARDO, this job makes IMPREXA proud with the chance to present the big success of his knowhow to the world.

The miracle of May the 1th

May the 1th, day of the expected opening to the world of EXPO 2015, SKY TV was strategically positioned on the central PIAZZA ITALIA, the big cross between Decumano and Cardo boulevards. Thinking right now to the horrible condition of the pavements before the grand opening event, we of IMPREXA fill now as a nightmare! The bad weather condition of the night before didn’t permit to conclude the coating activity correctly! Fortunately the last 4 available hours before opening stopped to rain! The last inhuman effort of IMPREXA team was strong but symbolic: in 4 hours 10 people coated PIAZZA ITALIA with more than 5.000 squares meters! The “mission impossible” of IMPREXA will allowed Italy to open Expo 2015 in the best condition, showing he was ready to host the World! In these pictures we tell you the story we are proud to have been protagonist.
