Why this is better

4 issues fixed: Article states Salone del Mobile draws approximately 380,000 visitors per April edition, presented as the current/typical figure. Verified attendance for the most recent editions is materially lower: 2025 recorded 302,548-302,786 visitors, 2023 recorded 307,418, and even the pre-pandemic peak in 2019 was 386,236 (not a recurring annual figure). 380,000 appears to conflate the one-off 2019 peak with the current typical attendance. | Same overstated Salone del Mobile visitor figure repeated later in the article; recent editions (2023, 2025) have run approximately 300,000-310,000, not 380,000. | Article twice describes Fiera Milano Rho as 'the world's fourth-largest exhibition complex' by floor area. Independent rankings of exhibition centers by indoor floor area place Fiera Milano Rho (345,000 sqm) around fifth to eighth worldwide, well behind venues such as the Canton Fair Complex, Hannover Messe (496,000 sqm indoor), Shanghai NECC, Shenzhen World, and Messe Frankfurt. The 'fourth largest' claim appears to conflate rankings of fair organiser companies (where Fiera Milano SpA is sometimes cited as the world's fourth-largest organiser) with rankings of physical exhibition complexes by floor area. | Same overstated venue-ranking claim repeated in the venue-map section.
