The theme of the Italian Pavilion at the Dubai Expo, due to go ahead in October 2021, is “the Beauty that Connects People”, conveying the concept of beauty as a universal unifying force that transcends all cultures and races.
The Dubai Expo is the first global event planned to take place at the end of the pandemic and will run until 31st March 2022. The Italians are determined to shine, with a sparkling innovative pavilion that will focus on the vision of sustainable development as prospected in the United Nations agenda for 2030, promoting new ideas on the use of water resources in agriculture, the cultivation of arid land, the defence of biodiversity and valorization of the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
The Italian pavilion, designed by Architects Carlo Ratti, will cover an area of 3,500 sqm. with a height of 27m, and will be entirely powered by state-of-the-art aeration and illumination systems showcasing Italian scientific and technological knowhow. Special architectural features include a “Skywalk” passageway, constructed from recycled materials like coffee grinds, orange peel and recovered plastic, while Italy's diverse scenic beauties and creative skills, filmed by Oscar winner Gabriele Salvatores, will provide Expo visitors with a continuous and fascinating panoramic backdrop.
