Rome, 24 October 2015 – Enel has joined the global campaign celebrating the 70th anniversary of the United Nations by lighting up in blue –the UN official colour– several world-renowned infrastructures as well as its own pavilion in EXPO Milano 2015.
World celebration will begin in New Zealand and then move on to Australia with the lighting of the Sydney Opera House. From there, a wave of blue will cross the countries and continents participating in this international event.
Some of the most famous landmarks in the world, such as the great pyramid of Giza in Egypt, Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro and the Empire State in New York, will wear blue. They will be joined by the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Great Wall of China, the Hermitage Museum in Russia, the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, the Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Westminster in the UK, the Tokyo Skytree and the Alhambra in Spain.
