FURTHER DETAILS
The father of the present owner, an Italian Chinese, traveled to Italy in the 1980s to pursue studies in film and theatre. Throughout his life, he remained committed to promoting international cooperation and cultural exchange between Italy and both sides of the Taiwan Strait. His encounter with Huang Yongyu took place at an art exhibition, sparking a warm and enduring friendship. Over the years, they visited each other in both Italy and China, and Huang presented him with several works—lasting mementos of their deep and sincere relationship.
