Commentary
L’Expo 1906 ou Exposition internationale du Simplon est une Exposition universelle qui s'est tenue à Milan du 28 avril au 11 novembre 1906. Le site retenu se situait derrière le château des Sforza (l'actuel Parco Sempione, où, en 1923, la Fiera Milano City fut installée).
Le thème choisi fut celui des transports. Pour l'occasion, les 13 millions de lires investis de l'époque permirent la réalisation de nombreuses et nouvelles constructions parmi lesquelles l'aquarium municipal. L'Exposition reçut 35 000 exposants en provenance de 40 pays et accueillit plus de 5 millions de visiteurs.
L'affiche emblématique de l'Exposition, conçue par Leopoldo Metlicovitz, célébrait l'achèvement de la percée transalpine du tunnel du Simplon (Sempione en italien, d'où le parc tire son nom), rendant possible la première liaison ferroviaire directe entre Milan et Paris.
Ovide Yencesse (Dijon 1869 - Dijon 1947), est un graveur-médailleur et sculpteur français. Il fut directeur de l'école des beaux-arts de Dijon de 1919 à 1934..

For the occasion, the 13 million lire invested at the time allowed for the construction of numerous new buildings, including the municipal aquarium. The Exposition hosted 35,000 exhibitors from 40 countries and welcomed over 5 million visitors. The iconic poster for the Exposition, designed by Leopoldo Metlicovitz, celebrated the completion of the transalpine Simplon Tunnel (Sempione in Italian, from which the park takes its name), making possible the first direct rail link between Milan and Paris. Ovide Yencesse (Dijon 1869 - Dijon 1947) was a French engraver, medallist, and sculptor. He was director of the Dijon School of Fine Arts from 1919 to 1934.

Historical background
ITALY - KINGDOM OF ITALY - VICTOR-EMMANUEL III
(29/07/1900-9/05/1946)
Victor-Emmanuel III, born November 11, 1869, is the son of Humbert I and Marguerite of Savoy, and the grandson of Victor-Emmanuel II. He married Hélène de Montenegro, the daughter of Nicolas I, in 1896. After the assassination of his father by an anarchist in 1900, he ascended to the throne. This king is well known to numismatists for having encouraged the publication of the Corpus Nummorum Italicorum (CNI) from 1910, the bible of Italian coin collectors.. During the First World War, Italy sided with the Allies from 1915, but suffered many defeats before stabilizing the front at Caporetto against the Austrians. Constitutional king, he is the hostage or the accomplice of the fascists from 1922. Benito Mussolini (1883-1945) is the real chief executive, the Duce. The Lateran Accords of 1929 put an end to sixty years of conflict with the Papacy. Emperor of Ethiopia after the invasion of this country by Italian troops in 1936 and King of Albania in 1939, he let himself be drawn into the Second World War. After the landing of the Allies in Sicily, and in southern Italy, in a burst of energy, he overthrew Mussolini but had to go into exile. He abdicated in favor of his son Humbert II in 1946 and died in Alexandria on December 28, 1947..
