Bronze Sponsor of Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka
We are proud to participate in Expo 2025 Osaka as a Bronze Sponsor of the Italy Pavilion, bringing with us the artisanal excellence and timeless beauty of hand decorated majolica tiles.
In perfect harmony with the theme 'Art Regenerates Life', we have realised
the 33 decorations “Blu Ponti” tiles, designed by Gio Ponti in 1960 and winners the Compasso d’Oro ‘Career Award 2024' for Product. These are given by Commissioner General Mario Vattani as exclusive gifts to VIP guests of the Italy Pavilion.
A gesture that reflects the value of Italian craftsmanship, blending art, design, and culture.
It’s an honor to represent our country at one of the most prestigious international showcases
in the world, telling — through each tile — a story of tradition, creativity, and innovation
that began in 1494.
The Italy Pavilion
'Art Regenerates Life' is the theme of Italy Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.
Masterfully designed by Mario Cucinella Architects, it’s inspired by a modern and futuristic vision of the Renaissance Ideal City, proposing itself as a symbol of Italian know-how
and the excellence of Made in Italy.
An immersive experience of architecture, innovation, art and sustainability.
Many important works installed within the same, including the Farnese Atlas, the Codex Atlanticus by Leonardo da Vinci, the Sant'Elmo by Mimmo Palladino and Caravaggio’s Deposition in the space reserved for the Holy See.
