3. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Mario Vattani, Commissioner General for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka:
“When people think of Italy, especially in Asia, especially in Japan, they immediately think of culture, art, history, music, which is fantastic, but at the same time, that is not just what we want to talk about.”
4. Various of exhibits inside the Italian Pavilion
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Mario Vattani, Commissioner General for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka:
“We mix this art, ancient art and contemporary art, with science, with technology, with innovation. So the impact you have I think when you enter, and that’s what I hear from the people who visit, the impact that you have is this kind of mix, which works very well because it’s a Renaissance idea that puts engineering with art, like Leonardo da Vinci himself was both an artist and a scientist.”
6. Flags of Vatican City and Italy outside the Italian Pavilion
7. Mid of entrance to the Holy See pavilion
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Mario Vattani, Commissioner General for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka:
“We are about to enter the true ‘pavilion in the pavilion’, which is the pavilion of the Holy See. It’s the first time in history that Italy and the Holy See have this kind of collaboration.”
9. Vattani leading the way into the Holy See Pavilion to see ‘The Entombment of Christ or ‘The Deposition’ by Caravaggio

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Mario Vattani, Commissioner General for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka:
“The atmosphere changes completely. You have a wonderful painting by Caravaggio, which normally actually is hung much higher. So this is a truly immersive vision that you have."

13. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Mario Vattani, Commissioner General for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka:
“It’s actually a thought of Pope Francis himself to send this painting to Japan for Expo because the of the meaning of this painting, because the meaning of hope, because the meaning of hope is in fact the theme of the Holy See, but it’s also the theme of the (Vatican) Jubilee.”

15. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Rino Fisichella, The Vatican Archbishop and General Commissioner Pavilion of the Holy See Pavilion:
“This is the title of our pavilion: ‘Beauty.’ Because beauty is a source of contemplation. Beauty transcends time. Beauty is a universal language. And beauty inspires love. Love is born from the contemplation of beauty.”
16. Various of media in front of the painting
17. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Rino Fisichella, The Vatican Archbishop and General Commissioner Pavilion of the Holy See Pavilion:
“We brought Caravaggio’s The Deposition — at first glance, it might seem like a denial of hope. But I invite everyone to look at it closely, to contemplate this work intensely. One of the figures in the painting has his arms wide open, eyes wide with awe, expressing the wonder of what he is witnessing. That Deposition marks a fundamental moment — a necessary passage in the journey of faith toward the Resurrection.”
