In Leonardo's birthplace, the Salotto Italia–Cina presents itself to Italian companies as a permanent platform for cultural and economic cooperation with China, already operating in Sanya. The meeting, promoted by the Consorzio Leonardo da Vinci World Wide under the patronage of the Municipality of Vinci, brings together companies from the agri-food and wine sectors. It is opened by the Mayor of Vinci, Daniele Vanni, and by the Deputy Consul General of the People's Republic of China in Florence, Guan Zhongqi.
The central moment is the live link with Sanya, in the Hainan Free Trade Port. From there Li Pingzhong of the Hainan Provincial Committee of the CCPIT speaks, confirming the attention of the Chinese institutions to the path that has been set in motion. The day closes with the presentation and tasting of the participating companies' products, an occasion for direct contact between companies, institutions and operators.
Eugenio Lanzetta, president of the Salotto Italia–Cina and founder of Amalart, outlines the vision of the project: to hold culture, business and institutional representation together in order to support internationalisation paths over time. The choice of Vinci is not accidental. The place that for centuries has stood for the dialogue between knowledge, creativity and innovation is the natural starting point for a project that aims to build lasting bridges between Italy and China.
