The presentation of the work took place in the Salón Colón of the Seville City Council by the mayor José Luis Sanz and the deputy mayor of Fiestas Mayores, Manuel Alés. The assembly of the cover in question will begin at the beginning of 2024, since its celebration will take place in the month of April. If in 2023 the cover was inspired by the Plaza de España and the Teatro Coliseo, references of Sevillian regionalism, this 2024 will present a similar appearance, following the example of the Mudéjar Pavilion.
A cover that in some way will remember the Exhibition of '29 and for whose centenary the City Council is already working.
Regarding the design, according to Davide Gambini, “my intention was to draw a cover where the building from which it was inspired could be easily recognized. For this reason, I decided to refer almost entirely to a single part of the building, the façade that faces Plaza de América, surely the most iconic and well-known part of the museum. In any case, it is a cover that manages to adapt the different parts of the building with variations. "The composition of the façade follows that of the pavilion: with two lateral viewing towers with hipped roofs and a central body articulated on two levels," detailed the author.
Thus, there are many elements that are inspired by this regionalist property and the colors are one of them. "On a chromatic level I have decided to leave the multitude of colors that characterizes this building, replacing in many parts the darker colors of the brick with brighter ones."
I really hope it is a worthy image for this important party. And above all, I hope that those who are the true protagonists of the fair will like it: all the people of Seville.
