In 2016, on the occasion of the celebrations for the 35th anniversary of the twinning between the two sister cities of Milan and Osaka, he has been invited by the Municipality of Osaka to make a photographic exhibition entitled “Osaka vista da un milanese” (“Osaka seen by a Milanese”), in the prestigious Osaka City Hall. Alberto Moro displayed 20 pictures that highlight his artistic and cultural affinities with the Japanese world.
