commercial negotiations. Institutional
and entrepreneurial organizations are
in fact working to understand how
to build bridges with China, precisely
starting from the valorisation and the
correct exploitation of the respective
know-how. In particular, last January

representatives of Confesercenti and
local agents participated in the entire
