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

Mitsubishi 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.
