The
opening exhibition took place in Mitsubishi Estate’s
newly opened Marunouchi Building. That building towers over
its namesake business district in central Tokyo where most
of the Mitsubishi companies maintain their headquarters.
The exhibition then moved to Yokohama, and it is progressing
through a series of venues in Osaka and other Japanese cities.
Mitsubishi Estate also has sponsored a Website
for the exhibition on the Internet. People anywhere in the
world can view the children’s touching creations at
www.kodomonoe.com |

Motors’ Italian distributor has restored an archaeologically
invaluable stretch of ancient road in connection with opening
a new sales outlet. The outlet is in Rome. The road is the
Via Flaminia Antica--the Flaminian Way. |
 |
Mitsubishi Automobili Italia has installed nighttime
illumination along its lovingly restored stretch
of the Via Flaminia Antica. |
Work
began on the Flaminian Way more than two thousand years
ago, in the third century before the Common Era. The road
became the most important route north from Rome to the Adriatic
Sea.
More than 140 meters of the Flaminian Way extended
literally under a site acquired by Mitsubishi Automobili
Italia for a new dealership in Rome. The company sponsored
painstaking restoration work on the old stone thoroughfare.
And when the new sales outlet opened in November, so did
a new-old chapter in Roman history.
