The 30th Turin book fair attracted
165,746 visitors, organizers said at a press conference closing
the 2017 event on Monday.
They said 140,746 tickets were for access to pavilions at the
Lingotto complex while 25,230 were for initiatives in other
parts of the northern city.
The total is almost 40,000 more than the 127,596 tickets
snapped up for the 2016 fair, despite the recent establishment
of a rival event in Milan.
