The Vietnamese embassy in Italy, in co-ordination with Lotus Gallery, has organized an exhibition entitled “A Glimpse of Vietnam” in Florence, Italy on March 30.

On display are 50 works on silk, paper, and canvas, as well as lacquer paintings of the people and landscape of Vietnam.

The show also features 83-year-old artist Mai Long demonstrating traditional Vietnamese silk painting.

The exhibition, which will last until April 6, aims to celebrate the 40th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and Italy in 2013.

The exhibition will then travel to Venice from April 12-18 and finally to Rome in late April.
