(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 28 - Sports Minister Andrea Abodi on
Tuesday voiced "disappointment" at Rome's crushing defeat in its
bid to host Expo 2023, but said the legacy of the project must
not be lost.
"I don't think that the universal nature of Rome necessarily
passes through the universal exhibition," Abodi told reporters
after the decision at the BIE in Paris. Today "there is a need
for a city that wants to evolve, wants to grow, wants to
develop", he added. (ANSA).
