The work includes a series of detailed images of the pavilions of the various participating nations and thematic areas, such as those of Japan, France, and Germany, as well as representations of the Italian buildings dedicated to the regions and cultural themes. The photographs are accompanied by multilingual captions that pay homage to the international nature of the event.
