The Chinese spirit represents openness and the willingness to have an in-depth exchange with other civilizations, which reflects the Asian nation's global vision, said Italian President Sergio Mattarella. 

In an exclusive interview with China Media Group (CMG) aired on Friday, Mattarella highlighted the enduring legacy of Marco Polo, the famous Venetian merchant and explorer, who has long served as a cultural ambassador between Italy and China, fostering a deep appreciation for Chinese culture among young people in Italy.
