The first video might be a little boring.

I must confess that I felt a little sleepy during the first video part of the Italian Pavilion.
The video continues for a few minutes in a chair, but the tempo is slow and some may feel that it is too long….

It is a well-produced video, but a bit more subdued than the other pavilions.
But this is only a prelude.

But the moment the screen opens, the air changes.

After the video ended, the screen opened to the left and right, revealing the exhibition space behind it.
I felt a sudden change in the atmosphere here.

On display were the Fernese Atlas, Caravaggio’s “Burial of Christ,” and da Vinci’s drawings.
All of them were “authentic,” and I was impressed by the opportunity to see up close works of art that are said to cost billions or tens of billions of yen.

For those who love art museums, this is an unforgettable experience. On the other hand, if you are not so interested in art, you may end up saying “Hmmm.

Have the exhibit space changed, something I noticed the second time around?

On my second visit, I asked myself, “What? The exhibit is a little different from last time?”
I checked and found that some of the exhibition spaces seem to change weekly or bi-weekly.
After some research, it seems that some of the exhibition spaces are changed on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

This made me think, “I can come back and see something new again,” and I looked forward to repeating my visit.
The “moving exhibits,” which are rare at Expos, are a nice touch for museum-goers.

Rooftop café is weather dependent, but restaurant is open even if it rains.

In the middle of the route, there is a space that leads to the rooftop, which is said to be open as a garden and café on fine days.
We were expecting to enjoy light meals, gelato, wine, etc. supervised by “EATALY,” which also has a branch in Tokyo, but…

Unfortunately, the day I visited was cloudy + light rain. Unfortunately, there was no outdoor cafe, only indoor.
It is recommended to check before visiting as the business conditions seem to change depending on the weather.
By the way, I was impressed by the delicious vegetables in the “Grilled Seasonal Vegetables”.
