Dear Members and Friends of the CICC,

The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce (CICC) is glad to inform you that the “Authentic Italian Table”, was successfully held on June 15th, 2019 at Chao Hotel, Beijing.

The event is part of the project "True Italian Taste", promoted and financed by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development and carried out by Assocamerestero in collaboration with the Italian Chambers of Commerce abroad, and it is aimed at enhancing and safeguarding the authentic Italian agri-food productions. "True Italian Taste" is part of the programme "The Extraordinary Italian Taste".

The event was opened by Giulia Gallarati, CICC Secretary General, who delivered a speech on the relevance of the project and its main goals. The event carried on with a seminar session in which the attendees had the chance to broaden their understanding on the Italian Sounding phenomenon and on the DOP & IGP labels, which certify products as authentic Italian. MC of the event was the lifestyle influencer Sarah Zhang.
