After three years of preparation and three hundred million lire (about 155,000 euros ) in construction costs, the park was opened on July 4th 1970 to originally 20,000 m 2 with 50 miniatures at the time and has been continuously expanded since then. The first miniature completed was that of Sant'Apollinare in Classe, near Ravenna , Rambaldi's hometown. Venice opened in 1992 after nine years of construction. The miniatures are made of resin ( resin ) by the company General display in San Mauro Pascoli made, who also works for other theme parks.
