Italian favorites

During the first three days of Expo 2010 Shanghai, 100,000 patrons visited the Italian Pavilion, almost 18 percent of the 562,600 visitors to the Expo Garden. With its fantastic masterpieces by Caravaggio, as well as its other exhibitions of art, design and architecture, the Italian Pavilion has become a favorite for Expo visitors.

The pavilion resembles a small Italian city. Strolling through it will make visitors feel as if they are walking in a city of narrow streets, plazas, courtyards and lanes surrounded by luxury cars, fashion brands and famous paintings. The country's achievements in technology and environmental protection are also on display.
