The International exhibition of marine and maritime hygiene was a world's fair held in Genoa in 1914. [1]
The fair was held between May 23 1914 [2] and 15 December 1914 [1] with the aim of showing life in Italian colonies. [1]
The fair was opened by Vittorio Emanuele III and Queen Elena. [1]
The overall design of the fair was by Gino Coppedè. [3] There were 1200 exhibitors from all continents. [3]
There were displays from the colonies of Eritrea, Somalia, Cyrenaica and Tripolitania [4] and one about the economics of the territories in Africa. [4]
In addition to individual colonies there was a stadium, [5] a copy of the Galata Tower (which had been built when Galata was a Republic of Genoa colony) and a mosque.
Attractions included a large diorama created by Francesco Bosso of the Panama Canal, which opened in 1914. [6]
A monorail and a cable car were both built for the exhibition, [3] with the monorail, known as Telfer , continuing to run until 1918.
