Da Xi’an a Roma: due città un solo mondo by Paolo Carrino and Zhao Weidong is a TV series that explores and describes diverse cultural aspects and makes a parallelism between the Eternal City and the capital of Shaanxi Province, Xi’an.
Produced by CITVC – China International Television Corp., CABC and CHNPEC, it has been developed with the collaboration of Roma Capitale and the support of the Fondazione Italia-Cina.
The docu-series is formed by 100 episodes of five minutes that explain the history of the two ancient capitals.
The new production, that will be also translated to Italian, English and Arab, will be aired on September 2019, on the international CCTV channel – China Central Television, the biggest TV Network in the World.
The press conference to introduce Da Xi’an a Roma: due città un solo mondo took place on July 18 2019 at the Piccolo Eliseo di Roma theatre. There, Francesco Rutelli, President of ANICA and Coordinator of the Forum Culturale Italia-Cina said: “I am firmly convinced of the importance of the collaboration between Italy and China; they are nations with very diverse dimensions, but from a cultural point of view they have a lot in common and much to share.”
“The Chinese people do not only love the history of Rome, but also its contemporaneity: they love the Italian traditions, but also its design, fashion, food, cinema and audiovisuals. Our strength, using this instrument, is to build dialogue and a sustainable tourism. Millions of travelers will depart and to manage this new tourism we will need experience and sustainability”, Francesco Rutelli added.
