CLASS CNBC - ROAD TO RIYADH

A reportage produced for Class CNBC on behalf of the Farnesina, with the italian journalist Marta Desantis covering the Italian Foreign Minister's trade mission to Saudi Arabia alongside a delegation of Italian companies. The work moves between the official and the street. Conference rooms, institutional speeches, interviews with entrepreneurs. But also construction sites — large-scale projects run by Italian firms on the outskirts of Riyadh — wind farms, aerial views of a city being built faster than it can be described, and quieter moments inside the old market. The goal was to go beyond the delegation and look for the character of the city itself. What Riyadh looks like at sunset from a building site. What it sounds like in a carpet shop. How the scale of Vision 2030 reads when you're standing inside it. 📍 Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 📺 Produced for: Class CNBC 🤝 Commissioned by: Farnesina — Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale 🎥 Gear: Sony alpha 73 - Sigma 24-70 f2.8 - Ronin S
