A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held
on Sunday, June 29, to inaugurate the week dedicated to the
Liguria Region at Expo 2025 Osaka.
The activities devoted to Liguria officially started in the
presence of the Commissioner General for Italy at Expo 2025
Osaka, Ambassador Mario Vattani, the chief of staff of Liguria,
Admiral Massimiliano Nannini, the Region’s councillor in charge
of economic development, Alessio Piana, the president of Liguria
International Carlo Golda, and the director general of the
Agency In Liguria, Matteo Garnero.
The initiatives are set to continue at the Italy Pavilion until
July 5.
Ambassador Vattani accompanied Liguria’s official delegation
during a visit of the Italy Pavilion with its excellencies and
artistic treasures before taking time to tour the spaces
dedicated to the region, highlighting the themes connected to
the art of craftsmanship.
Sunday was also the first day during which Ligurian craftsmen
showcased their savoir-faire to the public of Expo 2025 Osaka in
special areas devoted to their demonstrations.
The craftsmen built violins, renovated stone materials and
crafted jewellery, among others, in an homage to beauty, culture
and excellence in which they showed the extent of their skills
based on ancient traditions mixed with modern techniques.
Monday opened with an institutional welcome at 10:30 am local
time and continued with thematic panels on the blue economy and
ports.
The 65th Genoa International Boat Show will also be presented on
Monday.
