The Farnesina collection has been
enriched by the scale model (1:00) of the Italy Pavilion for
Expo Osaka 2025, presented today to Deputy Premier and Foreign
and Cooperation Minister Antonio Tajani. During the meeting the
model was placed in front of the Staircase of Honour, enriching
the already precious collection of the foreign ministry.
The model is a faithful reproduction of the project of architect
Mario Cucinella, who was inspired by the Renaissance Ideal City
with a theatre, a true building within a building, which will
host cultural events. The piazza too and the garden will be
distinctive elements of Italian creativity, urban planning and
identity. Italy goes to the upcoming Universal Exposition that
will take place at Osaka from April 13 to October 13 2025 with
the theme "Art regenerates life", an interpretation of the
general theme "Planning future society for our lives".
"The Italy Pavilion at Expo Osaka 2025 will be an extraordinary
instrument of the diplomacy of growth. We will team up to
valorise our excellent products," said Minister Tajani.
"The project of the Italy Pavilion at Expo Osaka 2025 designed
by the architect Mario Cucinella is characterised by a strong
stylistic and structural identity. The Italian System goes to
Expo Osaka 2025 in this extraordinary framework: the Italy
Pavilion will be the first visiting card for the Italian firms
that will present themselves in Japan," commented General
Commissioner Mario Vattani at the end of the meeting.
According to a study by the Milan Politecnico University
commissioned by the General Commissioner's Office, Italy's
participation in Expo 2025 Osaka may lead to a 20% increase in
the current volume of exports, for a value well over 600 million
euros per annum. Trade between Italy and Japan is today worth
around 13 billion euros. Over 30% of Italian exports to Japan is
propelled by the main items of Made in Italy: agri-food,
fashion, design, followed by technical and scientific sectors
like pharmaceuticals and the automotive and mechanical
engineering sectors.
