Italians keen to learn more about China

More and more Italians are learning Chinese and more about Chinese culture to participate in the country's economic success story.

Tommaso Ferruccio Camponeschi, 26, left this week for Beijing, where he plans to take part in an event organized at the Italian Institute of Culture to promote synergies between Italian and Chinese next-generation startups and investors.

"After studying Chinese language and culture at Sapienza University in Rome, I worked for some time in marketing, but I realized that I needed to go deeper into the China's economy," Camponeschi said.
