Expo head optimistic for visitor numbers

(ANSA) - Milan, September 1- Milano Expo 2015 Commissioner Giuseppe Sala said on Tuesday he expected a positive trend in visitor numbers in September and October and that organisers were planning a series of events leading up to the end of the fair.
    Sala said the visitor number figures for August "were good, particularly for the second half of the month," adding that for this reason he was "optimistic about the trend in September and October".
    U2 frontman Bono is due to visit Expo on Sunday to take part in an event focused on world hunger, and Sala said organisers were planning similar events and visitors in the last two months of Expo. "Up to now we have welcomed mainly prominent politicians and representatives from every corner of the world, now we are trying to shift attention to content," he said.
