With the theme of “Inheriting the classics, cultivating ingenuity and creating an innovative future,” the exhibition presents the diverse and harmonious development of Chinese culture through the mosaic assembly of mini-artworks.

Part of the exhibits had been showcased during the “Experience China in Italy” event held in Italy last June jointly organized by the State Council Information Office of China, the Benetton Academic Research Foundation and the Chinese Embassy to Italy.
