The photos, taken by Italian photographer Maurizio Cofini, show his love and passions for the two countries.
Cofini wants to convey a message to visitors that Italy and Vietnam may be geographically distant from each other, but are bounded by many cultural and aesthetic similarities.
The exhibition was held in Rome in 2009. In 2010, he held another exhibition titled “Mosaico d’immagini. Vietnam e Angkor”.
Born in Rome in 1956, Maurizio Cofini started working as a photographer in 1979, paying a special attention to photographic adaptation for theatre, ethnics and geography.
In late 2009, Cofini worked for Vietnamese art and architecture magazine Kien Truc Nha Dep that published some of his pictures in the present exhibition. He is currently working for the photo agency Le Clic.
The event, co-organised by the Embassy of Italy in Vietnam, is within the framework of “Italy-Vietnam 2014” programme.
