«The relationship with Korea has been going on for twenty years – comments Daniele Vimini – which has its roots in cinema but has been strengthened in the network of UNESCO Creative Cities such as Daegu, city of music, but other clusters such as Busan, city of Cinema; we are about to experience a program that is an important result of these fruitful relationships: I thank Confcommercio, our partner in this challenge which is an opportunity for tourist and cultural exchange, but also for mutual tourism promotion”.
