Deepening understanding through Design China
Italy is one of the first European countries to build trade relations with China. The ancient Silk Road connected the two great civilizations. And some envoys of friendship such as Marco Polo, Matteo Ricci and Giuseppe Castiglione built a bridge of goodwill between the two peoples.
In recent years, the two countries have deepened cooperation in fields such as trade, science and technology, environmental protection and agriculture, bringing tangible benefits to the two peoples.
As a cradle of Renaissance in Medieval Europe, Italy has been a pace setter in design, and is synonymous with fashion. Clothing and furniture from Milan are among the best in the world. Italy is home to countless places of historical importance, grand opera houses and theaters, fantastic soccer stadiums and players, gourmet food and fabulous designs.
