Mission: Peace on earth, Peace with the earth

The leitmotif of the Christmas Market and of the events that will frame it, is intended to be an invitation to peace through respect for one’s neighbor, nature and our land, also through the ability to marvel and be amazed. Respect means taking each other into account, listening to the various opinions and the various ways of feeling. Wonder means the ability to be surprised and amazed, to grasp the simplicity of small things and to be surprised by the beauty of nature, by a sunset, by a seed that transforms into a flower. Sharing means participating in the suffering of the weakest, making it lighter and knowing how to share our joy with those less fortunate than us.

Location: Piazza del Duomo in Milan

It is the vital center of the city, a meeting point for the Milanese people to celebrate important events together. Along with the adjacent Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the square is an iconic place in the metropolis and a mandatory destination for visitors and tourists from all over the world.

From the first days of december it will be possible to walk among the over 1200 square meters of spaces set up around the Milan Cathedral where visitors will be able to find a very varied offer of products that will range from handcrafts to typical products of regional cuisine.

To make access to the market more usable, Eurostands has designed the logistics of the distribution of the houses, focusing attention on the circulation of pedestrian flows and an optimal organization of the spaces. By remodeling the placement of the houses, more transit gates were created, further improving the already tested fruibility with the creation of more sales fronts.
