The authorization for its development was granted on 27 August 1965 by Association Internationale des Producteurs Horticoles (AIPH), through its president Emile Debroise, who inserted it into the vast panorama of its events. Many Italian floriculturists and botanical experts, but also many foreign exhibitors from countries of all world have presented their plants, flowers and trees at the Fiera di Genova, in over 100,000 square meters of covered pavilions, as well as in outdoor areas.
