First Italy-ASEAN week to take place in Hanoi
PANO – The Italy-ASEAN Week will be organized for the first time in Hanoi from November 17-27, said Italian Ambassador to Vietnam Cecilia Piccioni at a press conference on November 14.
Particularly, on November 18-19, an original "Italian Trail" will depart from the central Ly Thai To square and will connect many other places in the city center, particularly meaningful to the Italian culture (such as Max Mara, Moschino and Valentino fashion shops).

The trail will take the public along an exclusively designed path enriched by booths for Italian food and wine tasting, exhibitions of Italian design creations, musical performances, and cultural presentations.
The Italian Embassy in association with the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology will run an ad hoc conference on November 21 to introduce to local people the core issues of bilateral projects currently under development.
On November 23, the University of Hanoi and the University for Foreigners of Perugia (Italy) will organize a conference aimed at taking stock, with professors and researchers from Italy and other ASEAN countries, on the recent spreading of Italian language in this area.
On the same day, a young award-winning Italian pianist, Nazareno Ferruggio, will duet with the Vietnamese pianist Pham Quynh Trang at the Youth Theater to celebrate the traditional friendship between the two countries.
