This year's Vivitalia • Chongqing tour will get on a bicycle, focusing on environmental protection and sustainability. The new "Points of Italy" have been identified on the map of the city of Chongqing, including food, clothing, technology, sports, and restoration of cultural relics, with special emphasis on protecting and respecting humans and land.

The audience can follow the actors Nico and Aiyun on their bicycle tour to find traces of Italy in the streets and alleys of Chongqing. Starting on February 17, the promotional video will be broadcast on the Chongqing TV station. The feature film will meet the audience in the spring.

This year, Vivitalia • Chongqing also offers the possibility to those interested in participating by sharing photos of Italy and the stops indicated on the map.

Starting in March, all participants who share Italian-related content on specific platforms will have the opportunity to win points and finally receive fabulous prizes from sponsors.

The 12 episodes will present the Italian outlet Florentia Village, the Sunac Ski Resort, and the Dazu Rock Carvings, which has seen Italy engaged in its restoration work.
