Reopening Of Expo Milan 2016

Services NCC (car rental with driver)

Expo Milan 2016 Friday  May 27th, 2016 reopens the area dedicated to Expo Milan 2015. The Tree of Life and the Italian Pavilion will not be removed. The idea of the Municipality of Milan and the owners of the land is to restore this area and use it for events, exhibitions and street food parades, area suitable for children and families with shows and  places where eat and drink.

There will be an area where to practice sports such as football, climbing or basketball. It is planned to install a "global garden" with 150 species of fruit and vegetables that will be grown and then sold in a market, always accessible in the Expo area, encouraging the local horticulture.

The entrance to the area of Rho Fiera, unlike Expo, will be limited to the weekends, from 15.00 to 23.00, but in occasions of major events such as the Europeans football matches or the Olympics games there will be an extraordinary opening. The former Expo area on 25 May will host the concert "Bocelli and Zanetti Night" an international charity event in the Open Air Theater and the show, full of music and colors, will be dedicated to the reactivation of the Tree of Life.

You can enjoy all the events planned by the reopening of the Expo in total comfort and relax thanks to our car rental with driver service  (NCC in Milan)...

Milan: the summer service of Vip Limousine

The Mille Miglia race, an epochal myth

The Mille Miglia (thousend miles) 2017 will take place from 18th to 21 may, in its traditional motor racing circuit Brescia – Rome – Brescia.

Tales of racing and speed

Mille Miglia; something not defined, beyond the natural, reminding the old fairy tales we used to listen to eagerly when we were children, stories of fairies, magicians with boots, infinite horizons. Mille Miglia: evocative words that nowadays means progress of vehicles and bravery of men. Mad race, draining, without pit stops, throughout the countryside and the city, the mountain and the seashore, day and night. Roads under the roaring cars, eyes that do not sleep, faces that do not tremble, pilots with nerves of steel.

Giuseppe Tonelli, from “100 macchine si lanciano da Brescia per la “Mille Miglia”, La Stampa, 27th March 1927. So, in the typical futuristic style of the period, the journalist describes the historical race, that still today involves a large number of fans, who come from all over the world to remind the past glories and to animate the world of the vintage cars...

From Vinitaly in Verona to Tuscan Maremma

During the 2017 edition of Vinitaly, from 9th to 12th April, in the historic seat of Verona Fiere, were presented reassuring numbers for the wine market, preferences and expectations for a wine future of quality, intended to be appreciated in the whole world.

Among the most representative figures of a natural style we want to present you the associazione Vignaioli e Territori Vi.Te. (association of winemakers and territories), which gathers winemakers who “follow their wineyards and preserve their wine”.

Some of these wine-maker companies are located in the province of Grosseto, an area full of unique and exclusive places. Vip Limousine will bring you to Maremma, through a tour mixing all together landascape, sea, archeology, culinary art, entertainment and wellness.

Some examples of our wine tours

We will start outside the geographical borders of Maremma, from the Gulf of Baratti, located in a quiet wooded coast, on a promontory facing the Tuscan Archipelago. This is the place where the Etruscan, at first, and Roman, later, aristocracy used to build their homes and the most monumental temples, thermal baths and sacred places.

The southern part of Tuscany is the territory of the Etruscan civilization, and in the whole area the necropolis and the ancient village of Populonia are the most suggestive. Etruscans did not use the money for the trades, at least up to the sixth century B.C. They mainly used the barter of goods, from  which comes, indeed, the name Gulf of Baratti (the Italian word baratti means in fact barters)...
