Ground broke on Expo 2020 Dubai’s 25m-high Italy Pavilion in November 2019. The country was among the very first nations to start works for its pavilion.Â
The pavilion covers an area of 4,900m2 and is located between the World Expo’s Opportunity and Sustainability Thematic Pavilions and near the pavilions of India, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Japan and the United States.
The pavilion aims to present “beauty that connects people” when it opens at the World Expo in October 2021. It has been designed by a consortium of Italy’s Carlo Ratti Associati (CRA), Italo Rota Building Office, F&M Ingegneria, and Matteo Gatto & Associati.
