The date of the Christmas lighting or the route of the Three Kings parade. Along with these two researches, September usually gives us another great news: how will be the cover of the Feria de Sevilla, whose winning proposal was known on Tuesday.
The Italian Davide Gambini repeats as winner -his design also welcomed the Real in 2024- with a design that evokes the Portugal Pavilion of Expo ’29 with pieces of the arbor of Charles V of the Real Alcazar.
According to the author, “I wanted to follow the thread of ’29, adding the Cenador de Carlos V to commemorate the fifth centenary of the wedding of the emperor with Isabel of Portugal, testimony to the role of Seville as a crossroads”.
Thus, the legacy of the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition is once again setting the trend. A return to the regionalism that has starred in so many of the covers of the Feria de Abril.
A design that, in the words of Gambini, reflects “the international and modern vocation of Seville, reflected in the 1929 Exposition, and the historical and poetic memory of a real link that made this city a protagonist in Europe”.
It is a monumental design, with a central body that surpasses the side towers and that we had not seen since 2019.
