Italian sculptor eyes China’s changes

When Dionisio Cimarelli arrived in Beijing via the trans-Siberian train at the age of 21, he might have been one of the first foreign artists to visit China after it was opened to the outside world in the late-1970s. Asked about the biggest changes he observed over the past three decades, Cimarelli laughed. “The changes are incredible, too many, I even don’t know where to start,” he said.
