Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language at the fair
Italian is the working language on most stands, with English widely used by export-focused manufacturers. Opening a conversation in Italian, even a greeting, helps, and bilingual product labels are common.
Business rhythm
Meetings are usually arranged in advance and start on time. Mornings are the busiest slot for stand conversations, while the early afternoon is when many Italian visitors take a proper lunch break.
Coffee and lunch
Coffee is taken standing at the bar and paid for after drinking. A sit-down lunch is normal rather than a sandwich at the desk, so plan meetings around 13:00-14:30.
Around Lingotto
The Lingotto complex occupies the former Fiat factory south of the centre, with the Pinacoteca Agnelli and its rooftop test track on site. The historic centre around Piazza Castello and the Mole Antonelliana is 15-20 minutes away by metro.
Evening and Sunday habits
Aperitivo around 18:30-20:00 is a common way to continue conversations. Many smaller shops close on Sunday, so buy supplies and print documents on Saturday.
Practical etiquette
Business dress is smart-casual, handshakes are standard and cards are exchanged at the start of a meeting. Tipping is not expected in bars and restaurants beyond rounding up the bill.

Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at RESTRUCTURA Turin usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
T-1
Register for a visitor badge on restructura.com and save the confirmation to your phone. — Free professional registration; keep a digital and printed copy in case the badge desk asks for verification.
T-2
Download the exhibitor list and mark the suppliers you need to see in each hall. — Group your targets by product family so you walk the halls once, not three times.
T-3
Check the seminar and workshop timetable and note the sessions you will sit in on. — Seats for technical sessions are limited; arrive 10 minutes early for the popular retrofit talks.
T-4
Book your hotel in the Lingotto district or along Metro Line 1. — Lingotto-area properties are within walking distance; central Turin hotels are 15-20 minutes by metro.
T-5
Book flights or rail and plan the airport-to-venue leg. — Allow roughly 30-40 minutes by taxi from Turin Caselle to the Lingotto district, more in rush hour.
T-6
Prepare a one-page brief per project you are bringing: building age, structure, intervention planned. — Suppliers respond far better to a masonry type and a U-value target than to a general enquiry.
T-7
Check the visa and travel-document rules for your nationality before booking non-refundable travel. — Schengen short-stay rules apply for Italy; EU/EEA citizens can travel with a national ID card.
T-8
Pack business cards, a notebook and a phone charger for long days in the halls. — Data sheets are mostly PDF or QR codes, so a charged device matters more than paper catalogues.
T-9
Re-check opening hours and any hall changes on the organiser site. — Times and hall layouts can shift in the final week; confirm before setting an early train.
T-10
Plan your metro route to Lingotto station and keep a taxi app installed as backup. — Metro Line 1 runs directly to Lingotto; the walk from the station to the halls is short but partly outdoor.

Answers
Frequently asked
When and where does Restructura 2026 take place?
The 2026 edition runs 12-14 November 2026 at Lingotto Fiere in Turin, Italy. The venue is the former Fiat Lingotto complex on the south side of the city and is served by Metro Line 1 to Lingotto station.
Is Restructura a trade-only fair or can the public attend?
The show is aimed at building professionals and free registration is offered to industry professionals. If you are a private homeowner planning a renovation, check with the organiser before travelling whether public visitors are admitted on any day.
How do I register for a visitor badge?
Registration is handled through the organiser's website, restructura.com. Pre-register online before you travel so your badge is ready at the entrance, and bring a document showing your professional role if you are asked to verify it.
Which product sectors will I find in the halls?
Exhibits cover products and systems for work on existing buildings: restoration mortars, natural plasters and paints, stone and masonry treatment, structural strengthening, waterproofing, insulation and envelopes, windows and shading, HVAC and renewable retrofit, electrical and smart-building systems, site equipment, safety and BIM/survey software.
Is there a conference or workshop programme alongside the exhibition?
Restructura typically pairs the halls with technical seminars and workshops on retrofit, seismic safety and digital survey. The detailed session timetable is published on restructura.com close to the show; check it before fixing your travel days.
How do I get from Turin Caselle Airport to Lingotto Fiere?
Take the airport coach or the local rail link into Turin, then Metro Line 1 south to Lingotto station, which is a short walk from the fairground. A taxi from the airport to the Lingotto district is the fastest option with luggage; allow roughly 30-40 minutes depending on traffic.
Where should I stay near the venue?
The Lingotto district has hotels within a few hundred metres of the halls, including the NH Torino Lingotto Congress and smaller three-star properties; central Turin hotels around Porta Nuova and the historic centre are 15-20 minutes away by metro. Book early because November is a busy conference month in Turin.
Can students and academics attend?
Students and researchers in architecture, conservation and building engineering are part of the target audience, and many editions include university-led sessions. Check the registration page for student conditions and any supporting letter you need from your institution.
What is the dress code and what should I bring?
Smart-casual business dress is normal, with comfortable shoes for the halls. Bring a notebook or tablet for product data sheets and business cards; November in Turin is cool and often wet, so a warm layer and an umbrella are worth packing.
Is Lingotto Fiere accessible for visitors with reduced mobility?
The Lingotto complex is a large modern exhibition site with step-free access to the main halls and metro station. Contact the organiser in advance if you need wheelchair loan, accessible parking or a quieter route through the halls.
Glossary
- Building restoration (restauro)
- Work that conserves or reveals the historic fabric of a building - masonry, stone, plaster, frescoes and joinery - using compatible, usually breathable materials and minimal intervention.
- Retrofit / deep retrofit
- Upgrading an existing building's envelope, services and controls to cut energy demand, typically combining insulation, glazing replacement, airtightness and a new heating plant.
- Seismic strengthening (adeguamento sismico)
- Structural intervention that raises an existing building's resistance to earthquake loading, using techniques such as FRP wrapping, steel ties, jacketing, shear walls or base isolation.
- FRP (fibre-reinforced polymer)
- Carbon, glass or basalt fibre sheets and bars bonded to concrete, masonry or timber to add tensile or flexural strength with very little added weight - a common retrofit alternative to enlarging sections.
- Breathable construction
- Wall build-ups of lime mortars, plasters and paints that allow water vapour to migrate through the fabric, avoiding trapped moisture and salt damage in older masonry.
- Thermal bridge
- A localised weak point in the building envelope - balcony slab, lintel, window reveal - where heat escapes faster; correcting these is usually the difference between a compliant and a failing retrofit.
- NZEB (nearly zero-energy building)
- A building whose very low energy demand is largely covered by on-site renewable sources, the performance target referenced in Italian and EU efficiency rules for major renovations.
- Scan-to-BIM
- Laser scanning or photogrammetric survey of an existing building, converted into a building information model used to plan demolition, strengthening and services routing.
- Capotto / external wall insulation (cappotto termico)
- An insulated render system fixed to the outside face of a wall; widely used in Italian retrofit to remove thermal bridges without reducing floor area.
- Damp treatment and dehumidification
- Diagnosis and control of rising damp, condensation and salt contamination in old walls, using chemical barriers, breathable renders, ventilation or controlled drying equipment.
