The paintings showcased "the Italian lifestyle" and conveyed the idea of "harmonious coexistence of human and nature," Quintieri said, adding that 2010 marked the 400th anniversary of Caravaggio's death.
Quintieri also disclosed that Italian masters of opera, symphony, ballet and handicraft would perform during the World Expo.
