Padiglione B

Padiglione B is an exhibition pavilion in Genoa with a contemporary steel framework and a single expansive roof. The interior provides open floor space that can be configured in different ways to host events, trade shows, and cultural exhibitions.

The pavilion was completed in 2009 as a replacement for an earlier structure from the 1960s. Its predecessor hosted major city fairs and events over several decades before being replaced.

The building maintains its role as a central venue for the Salone Nautico di Genova, connecting the maritime traditions with modern exhibition needs.

This space hosts different types of events and exhibitions throughout the year, with varying configurations depending on what is scheduled. Visitors should check what specific event or exhibition is happening before planning their visit.

The building's roof structure weighs approximately 1500 tons and incorporates a complex system of longitudinal and transverse trussed girders.
