(Chengdu, China—December 6, 2024) Ispirazione del Sogno: Turning a New Chapter on the Seven-Year Journey. From Florence to Chengdu, from Italian-style architecture to classic Eastern grace, Chengdu Florentia Village has been through seven remarkable years of growth. Starting on December 6, 2024, and lasting until January 1, 2025, Chengdu Florentia Village will host a celebration, titled "Ispirazione del Sogno", in tribute to the time-transcending beauty of Italian culture. Five ingeniously designed themed installations will transform Chengdu Florentia Village into a space of delightful festivity, culturally rooted in the traditions of Renaissance-era architecture and Florence's iconic Iris Garden. The installations set a multi-layered Italian dreamscape, allowing visitors to immersively experience the historic city of Florence's rich heritage firsthand. Recreating the environment of vibrant artistic expression in Florence, there are also street performances, avant-garde fashion shows, interactive pantomime for children, the Christmas carriage parade, the pet carnival, and the God of Fortune Parade on New Year’s Day. These events immerse visitors in "seven dreamworlds", making their way into a month-long festival celebration.
