Doha, Qatar: The worldwide premiere of “CONNECT-IT. Visions to connect the world,” produced by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in cooperation with ANCE, the Italian national association of construction companies, opened yesterday at Msheireb Downtown Doha. The inauguration was officiated by Italy’s Deputy Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy, H E Valentino Valentini.
Deputy Minister Valentini, in his speech, highlighted the significance of the exhibition, stating: “This is an exhibition about engineering, about Italy, about our prowess, and about the deep bond between Italy and Qatar.” He stressed the cultural and functional significance of the exhibited buildings, noting how they represent the strong connection between the two nations.
“The strength of Made in Italy is that heritage would be giving a strong architectural [importance] and been able to transform it over and over again – so an act of creation on one hand, and act of humility. Architecture teaches us another point and that’s where Qatar and Italy [that is] so far apart but close together in terms of mentality, we [remain] grounded [in] whatever we do, we keep our vision, and the very foundation is values, family, people, development for us and the rest of the world.”
Expressing his hope for the exhibition, Deputy Minister Valentini said: “this exhibition which will be innovative and as innovative as this country and traditional at the same time will show the rest of the world how we, together, can be contributing not only on making the world a better place. Be sure that our friendship can also be a symbol of a wider and more important friendship throughout around the world.”
Moreover, he noted that architecture is not merely about buildings but about shaping the way we live together and contributing to the welfare and future of humanity.
