Hobby Model Expo — Fiera Nazionale del Modellismo
The most important Italian model making fair
About Hobby Model Expo
A miniature world
Hobby Model Expo is the most important Italian fair dedicated to model making. It takes place at the Parco Esposizioni Novegro, in the Municipality of Segrate, in the Province of Milan, and has been a regular fixture on the enthusiasts' calendar since 1978.
All facets of model making
The fair covers all disciplines of model making:
- railway modelling, with large layouts and new modules;
- aircraft and ship modelling;
- military and static modelling;
- car modelling and scale vehicles of all kinds.
More than just an exhibition
In addition to stands from Italian and foreign exhibitors, Hobby Model Expo offers live demonstrations, workshops, and dioramas, where you can admire the artisanal care and patience behind each model. It's the ideal opportunity to purchase materials, discover the latest industry innovations, and connect with the masters of model making.
For everyone
The event occupies the large pavilions of the Novegro exhibition centre and attracts visitors from all over Lombardy and Italy: collectors, expert model makers, but also families and children fascinated by the miniature world.
