The magic of Christmas is back in Milan: the Piazza Duomo Xmas markets are setup and built by Eurostands
One of the most important events in the city has begun: Eurostands has taken care of the setup and building of 65 wooden chalets, house of Santa Claus included, for a total of 1200 square meters of preparation. The markets of Piazza Duomo come back to relieve the heart of Milan for the Christmas holidays after a year of stop. “We are used to set up in the center of Milan – says the CEO Maurizio Cozzani – After receiving the assignment from Confcommercio we immediately started to work”.
In the last few days, Eurostands has taken care of the production and installation of 65 wooden chalets in Piazza Duomo that will be open to the public from 1 December from 8:30 to 22:00. It is a total space of over 1200 square meters (18 square meters for each cabin) lighted by almost 1 kilometer of Christmas decorations. A space where the joy of Christmas will spread and in which Milanese and tourists will find a wide range of products from crafts to clothing, plus regional delights. In order to improve the viability and the pedestrian flows, the distribution of the little houses has been modified with a careful organization of the spaces, increasing the space between each chalet. The markets will be divided into three areas: the area of Piazza Duomo/Vittorio Emanuele and Piazza Duomo/ex Camposanto will have two sales sides chalets, while the ones in Piazza Duomo/Arcivescovado area will be one sided.
The set-up was made in a record time: the team of Eurostands worked non-stop from 26 to 30 November, for a total of 90 hours dedicated to the dressing up of the square that is a symbol of the Lombard capital. “We have been entrusted with a challenging but at the same time rewarding task: bringing the magic of Christmas back to Milan – says the CEO of Eurostands, Maurizio Cozzani – This year, there is so much desire to celebrate the most magical time of the year and for this reason we accepted with enthusiasm the assignment that Confcommercio gave us in setting up Piazza Duomo with its best dress: the Christmas markets. We know that the month of December is particularly awaited and felt for the Milanese people: for this reason, we immediately planned to operate in the expected time and in total safety. Special thanks go to the mayor of Milan, Beppe Sala, and the president of Confcommercio, Carlo Sangalli. This experience teaches us that things can be perfectly done”. This is not the first time that Eurostands has prepared an exhibition in the centre of Milan. Recently the Brianza-based company has built an open air installation for Motomorphosis, a non-profit project that is committed to spreading the theme of education and road safety. In June, Eurostands was the main partner of the event MIMO – Milano Monza Motor Show and built 120 wooden platforms for 63 car brands in Piazza Duomo, where were also installed and 2,000 meters of cables in just 3 days of work.
