In the academic year 2016/2017 we launched a new column called “Chongqing Stories” that enriched our Missiva Galileiana.
Besides our traditional articles on contemporary China and the calendar of Sino-Italian events, we now offer a new section that will tell us, through the voice of expatriates and local people, their experiences in living in this beautiful city. Chongqing is a city growing and expanding both at domestic and international scene, acquiring a significant position, which is why we decided to dedicate a part of our newsletter to its inhabitants.
