Usage notes
- Use fiera for large public fairs or industry events; mostra is usually an exhibition, and mercato is a market for buying and selling.
- For professional events, fiera often implies many exhibitors and stands; congresso is a conference, not a fair.
- Common pattern: andare in fiera / essere in fiera. Don't say *alla fiera* unless you mean a specific fair already known from context.
