Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio has
hailed the Italy Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai as an
"extraordinary" way to present the country to the world.
The Italy Pavilion, which is inspired by the motto Beauty
Connects People and features a full-sized replica of
Michelangelo's David, is one of the most popular attractions at
the ongoing World Fair, the first in the Middle East.
"Beauty is at the heart of Italy's participation at Expo 2020
Dubai," Di Maio said in a message to conference at the pavilion
presenting a report by industrial confederation Confindustria
and export-credit agency SACE on 'exporting Dolce Vita' with
'beauty and the well-crafted'.
"The pavilion is an extraordinary presentation of our country's
most distinctive characteristics, which are technological
advancement linked to our traditions.
"The report presented today shows that, despite the impact of
the pandemic, beautiful and well-crafted products remain a key
driving force for exports and for the Italian economy.
"According to the report, these goods are worth 135 billion
euros (a year).
"This is proof that quality is a distinctive characteristic of
Italian output and a key to its attractiveness in advanced and
emerging markets".
