In the lap of luxury

Shanghai gets a large helping of Italian glamor through the Salone del Mobile Milano, along with a virtual tour of the country's rich cultural spots. Sun Yuanqing reports.

Italian culture in a mere 15 minutes. That is what was on offer at the Salone del Mobile Milano's Shanghai edition from Nov 19 to 21, through Panorama, a 360-degree video presentation, covering almost all aspects of "made in Italy", including fashion, design, food and beverages, hospitality and automobiles.

With the help of drones and immersive media technology, the video takes the audience on a virtual journey, where they fly over the Coliseum in Rome, see fashion shows by top designers and visit Mediterranean wineries.
