Stunning Italian art may inspire great works by 2 nations

The Renaissance art and sculptures at the Palazzo Barberini in the ancient city of Rome inspired many in the 16th century. Its stunning and epoch-making beauty has also transcended hundreds of years to leave an impact today.

Dozens of Chinese and Italian corporate leaders gathered in the Baroque palace on Tuesday night to witness the signing of more than $10 billion in deals.

These agreements, in terms of total value, have gone beyond any other deals that Italy has signed with China in history, according to local media.
