Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili, together with Italian Deputy Minister of Economy Ivan Scalfarotto, attended the opening of an exhibition of masterpieces by Sandro Botticelli and Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio in Tbilisi last night.
Kvirikashvili said he was happy that Italian culture and business came to Georgia together as the opening of the exhibition coincided with a major Georgian-Italian business forum in Tbilisi.
"By the end of November, when Georgia hosts the New Silk Road Forum, more than 1,000 international businessmen will be able to witness the exhibition in Tbilisi,” Kvirikashvili said.
