Held during a period of intense technological advancement, the event would have been a major attraction for manufacturers, inventors, and the public. It aligns with the growing importance of Milan as an industrial and commercial center, particularly in the fields of transportation and design. The fair likely featured product launches, competitions, and demonstrations of emerging automotive technology. This stamp is now a valuable piece of Italian industrial and automotive ephemera, prized for both its historical significance and its refined Art Nouveau design. Chat GPT
