studio The organizers of the World Exhibition in Milan, which will be held from May to October 2015, presented the official mascot a few days ago , created by the Italian branch of the Disney studio (Disney Italia).

The talisman is a human face made up of fruits and vegetables. It is obvious that its developers were inspired by the works of Giuseppe Arcimboldi, an Italian painter of the 19th century, who became one of the brightest representatives of Mannerism. Watermelon, figs, banana, mango, radish ... each of the 11 elements represents a single character. In addition, the image echoes the key theme of the exhibition: "Feed the planet - give energy for life."

The official website Expo-2015 (expo2015.org) is currently holding a competition where everyone can offer a name to the talisman.
