Giorno: 16novembre

An informal evening that opens the summit and its trade show.

A sea that does not divide but connects people, cities, work, and culture: the eleven sketches Giuseppe Rivaroli made in 1927–1928 for the frescoes of the Ministry of the Navy in Rome tell a powerful story of the maritime world, which the exhibition brings back to Genoa, in dialogue with the Mediterranean of today.

The official opening of BEST, with welcome remarks that set out why Genoa and Liguria are the natural home of a summit on the shipping-centered blue economy.
