Holding different Italian cultural events in Jordan “contributes to strengthening the relationship between Jordan and Italy”, said the envoy, adding that the jewelry displayed at the exhibition is an expression of the Italian culture.
“There are pieces from the most important and luxurious brands, such as Fendi, Bvlgari, Gucci, and others,” said the ambassador.
Cassese also said he is looking to hold more similar events in the near future, especially since “people in Jordan like to know more about Italy and its culture, and it is a real pleasure for us to show them more about it.”

Suhail Baqaeen, also an artist, told Jordan News that the exhibition, which is “full of great pieces, is a paradigm shift from exhibitions that we usually attend”.
According to Baqaeen, “jewelry resembles art and art is life. The exhibition is an embodiment of the Italian culture and we should learn from such exhibitions how to give more importance to our local designers, too”.

Papa said that Jordanians have good knowledge about Italy, “but from my experience living in Jordan for a long time, I can say that they want to know more about Italy, and it is our role to let them discover different aspects of Italy, which contribute to enriching their knowledge”.
