Wide participation at the official presentation of sponsors and the team for the San Marino Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.

San Marino, January 27, 2025 – This morning, at Casa Expo on the Terrazza di Giorgia Boutique, the sponsors, partners, and the team departing for Japan to represent the Republic of San Marino at Expo 2025 Osaka were officially presented during a press conference. The event was hosted by the Secretary of State for Tourism, with the Expo delegation Federico Pedini Amati, and Commissioner General Filippo Francini. The Honorary Consul General of Japan to the Republic of San Marino, Leo Achilli, also honored the event with his presence.

As of today, nearly 30 companies, not only from San Marino, have committed to the project, with some renewing their support from previous Expo editions and others joining for the first time this year. Divided into main, gold, and silver sponsors according to their level of contribution—either financial or through goods and services—the companies were well represented at this morning’s press conference. Among the main sponsors are Noevir, Marlù, Enrico Cuini, Vechain, Gruppo Colombini, Marco Delli Collection, and Colony Viaggi. Gold sponsors include Messagerie, Gruppo Del Conca, Giochi del Titano, Oggi Frutta Company, Laboratorio Chimico Sammarinese, BKN301, SUMS, San Marino Ship Registry, and Giorgia Boutique. Silver sponsors include Cia Blend Coffee, San Marino Aircraft Registry, Cool Things, TIM San Marino, Arzilli Gioielli, and La Serenissima. Institutional, technical, and media partners were also present: ASE CC, Università degli Studi della Repubblica di San Marino, San Marino Innovation, Istituto Musicale Sammarinese, Ufficio del Turismo, Poste San Marino, Consorzio Terra San Marino, Cantina San Marino, World Line, 365 TRUST, Imago, San Marino Fixing, and San Marino RTV.

The event also served as an opportunity to introduce the team of managers and volunteers departing for Osaka in the coming months. Laura Franciosi will serve as Pavilion Director, Mattia Ronchi as Head of Accreditation, Protocol, and PR, and Ilaria Filippi as Head of Sales, Events, and Communication. These three team members will remain in Japan for the entire six-month event, accompanied by 18 selected volunteers who will rotate in groups of six every two months.

The first group, departing in April in time for Expo’s inauguration, includes Cecilia Bollini, Lorenzo Moraccini, Edoardo Pasolini, Edoardo Tentoni, Giorgia Manzaroli, and Ludovica Stefanelli. The second group, joining in June, consists of Maurizia Fattori, Giulia Petreti, Elisabetta Moretti, Alice Naso, Anna Giorgetti, and Elia Stacchini. The third and final group, participating from mid-August until the Expo’s conclusion, includes Martina Maltoni, Maria Giorgia Selva, Diego Salucci, Elena Francioni, Martina Pelliccioni, and Maya Camilla Gori.
