Italian representatives will hold two thematic sessions at the forum: one of them will be devoted to urbanism and the development of modern cities, the other to the project of the Pritzker Prize–winning Italian architect, known for such unique objects as the Shard skyscraper in London (Great Britain), the Georges Pompidou National Center for Art and Culture in Paris (France), Aquarium in Genoa (Italy), San Nicola Stadium in Bari (Italy) and others.

The official delegation of the City of Genoa will include Deputy Mayor of Genoa Emanuele Piazza, Director of the Department of Promotion and Tourism of the City Municipality Cesare Torrei, President of the real estate company of the city administration, involved in the implementation of the Blue Print project, Stefano Francolini.
