According to the PR of United-Cultures Baku, the Italian project is a concept of the Museum of Fire and Energy, symbolizing the natural wealth and historical specifics of Azerbaijan. In addition, the project of Italian architects and designers allows using the future museum and as a theatrical stage in the open air.
