Rome has put forward its candidacy to host the Expo 2030 world fair with an impressive drone show titled “Humanlands” over the Colosseum. The show was a multimedia spectacle, featuring 500 drones, which showcased examples of Italy’s cultural heritage like Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man”, geometries, abstractions, and light games.

The aim was to narrate the city’s eternal evolution and to emphasize the importance of prioritizing humanity in conversations. The Expo is a global event that attracts millions of visitors to the host cities, and the host country for the 2030 edition is set to be elected in November 2023. Rome is competing against Riyadh, Busan, and Odesa for the opportunity.
