About This Book

A journalistic account of an international exhibition in Milan that celebrates technological achievement and commercial vitality, linked to the opening of the Simplon tunnel. The piece contrasts urban confidence and cultural activity with recent rural hardship caused by natural forces, sketches Milan’s industrial strengths—especially silk weaving, manufacturing, and publishing—and follows the exhibition’s long preparation, delays, and intense final efforts that turned disarray into a ceremonious display of national progress and civic pride.
