Great projects and I love the Hotel Fiera Milano.

Bye G.

In all seriousness this is the most exciting project in Europe. It's amazing how fast these are being built. And it appears the Italians have talent at designing modern buildings as well. There isn't a single angle in this project that looks anything but beautiful.

Many thanks!
I would like to wish a happy 2012 to all the forums (I hope you understand. my English is very poor)

You mean they couldn't sell the apartments in there? It looks too close to completion to be aborted anyway.
