For the entire month of August, pensioners and workers on a low income in Italy will have free access to Expo Milano 2015. Thanks to an INPS (Italy's National Institute for Social Insurance) initiative, "In agosto insieme all'Expo" (In August together at Expo), those who received an income or gross pension of less than 10,000 Euro in 2014, in August will be granted free admission to the Exhibition Site and can visit the Pavilions. Travelling to Expo Milano 2015 also becomes more convenient: indeed, Trenitalia, is offering rates discounted by 50 percent for train journeys to Milan from all over Italy. The reduction will be applied to return journeys, Frecce or Intercities with Milan or Rho Fiera Expo Milano 2015 as the destination.
