Italy and China meet again
Xinhua - English: "Year of Italy in China" launched in Beijing
For many people the most connection they know of between China and Italy is the visit there by Marco Polo beginning in 1266, and the allegedly resultant feud about the inventors of pasta.
But now there is a different opportunity to see the mixing of these diverse cultures.
A year long 'cultural gala' has opened in China and will be shown in several major cities including Shanghai and Hong Kong.
And until the 23rd of January in Beijing an exhibit of Italian Renaissance paintings is on display at the Millennium World Art Museum of the Centennial Altar.
