At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, in the presence of Vice-Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, Fulvio Renoldi Bracco, CEO of Bracco Imaging was also present.
The Expo that has just opened its doors in Osaka is a special one: built on Yumeshima Island, the exhibition site is surrounded by the Grand Ring, a wide circular promenade that symbolises the philosophy of Expo 2025 and reflects the broader concept of unity in diversity that lies at the heart of World Expos.
On the opening day, in the presence of Commissioner General and Ambassador Mario Vattani, the stunning Italy Pavilion was visited by the Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, along with senior executives from numerous Italian companies, including Fulvio Renoldi Bracco, CEO of Bracco Imaging.
"The Italy Pavilion stands out as an extraordinary showcase of the innovation, scientific research and technological excellence that our country has to offer," said Fulvio Renoldi Bracco at the end of the visit. "Alongside internationally-renowned masterpieces of art such as the Farnese Atlas from MANN in Naples and Leonardo’s Codex Atlanticus, the Pavilion also highlights the role of Italian businesses in building a more sustainable, inclusive and advanced future."
"The Japanese World Expo, especially in these complex times, carries even greater significance: it will be a great agora, with 161 countries participating and more than 28 million visitors expected — a place where different peoples will be able to engage in dialogue and learn about each other," said Diana Bracco, Chair and CEO of the Bracco Group.
