The South Tyrolean logistics operator Fercam, through its Fine Art Business Unit—specialized in museum transport and high-complexity handling—was in charge of transporting the artwork Apparato circolatorio by the Italian sculptor Jago. This piece, one of Jago’s most emblematic works, already well known for its powerful symbolism and striking visual impact, is now on display inside the Italian Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka.

The delicate operation, carried out by Fercam’s Fine Art Business Unit, included the dismantling of the installation at the Jago Museum in Naples, custom packaging design, transport to Osaka, and, following the exhibition, the return of the sculpture to Italy.

“Transporting a fragile and significant work like Apparato circolatorio requires careful preparation, specialized expertise, and a relationship of trust with the artist,” says Carolina Cuomo, Fercam Fine Art Area Executive. “Every detail was meticulously planned—from the construction of the crates to tracking the entire journey, and coordinating with Japanese customs authorities. We’ve been working with Jago for years, and this project allowed us to bring our experience to an internationally prestigious context like the Expo, highlighting the role of logistics as an integral part of the artistic process.”

The journey of Jago’s sculpture to the Italian Pavilion at the Expo in Japan marks a new chapter in the collaboration between the artist and Fercam, a leader in international logistics with three offices in Japan: Narita, Tokyo, and Osaka.
