Piacenza makes it easy to reach the main reference points for this sector. The history of the territory and of the fair is intrinsically linked to water as a source of energy and as an agricultural resource: from the Isola Serafini hydroelectric power plant to the hydroelectric reservoirs in the valleys; from the dense network of canals for irrigation purposes to the technological and industrial research fairs. The size of the exhibition centre lends itself to hosting highly specialised events. Piacenza Expo’s history goes back a long way with the first national exhibition on hydrocarbons in the 1950s and the many agricultural exhibitions. Energy sources, geotechnics, large-scale works and quality agriculture are still a highlight in the Piacenza Expo exhibition calendar.
