Vibrant MIDO 2016 OW's correspondent reports from Milan

摘要

Half past eight on February 26: a soaking wet Milan Saturday morning. The elegant tree-lined streets of downtown have been left far behind: the mountains of the Alps, Milan's neighbours (and the bringers of all that rain) rise up invisible in the murk. Cars, motorbikes, taxis jostle and joust their way through the unpitying traffic across charmless outer-city wasteland towards Mido 2016. On arrival, as the portico of the Rho Perro fairground looms out of the mist, more crowds flock in from the Metro. Exhibitors are inside and at work already; Mido 2016 is about to open its doors.
