The event started with a welcome speech of the Italian Ambassador of the P.R.C. and the Honorary Chairman of CICC, Ettore F. Sequi and the CICC President, Davide Cucino. The President of Emilia-Romagna, Stefano Bonaccini, introduced the mission of the region in China . The CICC signature event was held on November 25th at Beijing Kerry Hotel . Representing the best occasion for the Chinese and Italian business communities to meet and network, the Gala saw the participation of 500 guests.

The event was embellished by different types of entertainment activities, from the choreographic performance offered by Fabbri, to the pleasing and tactful show of the Italian singer Emma Re, with the extraordinary company of the pianist Moreno Donadel.
