The exhibits were created by more than 20 promising young contemporary children’s illustrators from Italy, including several artists selected for Italy’s Bologna Children’s Book Fair and one who was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal, a prestigious award for children’s picture books. These artists will interpret classic works from fairy tales to Dante’s poetry from a poetic perspective and present artistic works with exquisite details, original contents, and unique styles through their outstanding skills in different fields of art forms and their inspiration drawn from various things.

These works are not limited to traditional exhibition modes, and some will be displayed as murals or posters, which are novel and interesting. All kinds of inspiring illustrations will bring an immersive, dreamlike art experience to consumers visiting Florentia Village Chongqing!

The classic architectural style of Italy inspired the design of Florentia Village Chongqing. As the Chinese New Year approaches, the buildings are decorated with classic traditional Chinese New Year elements, such as window paper-cuts. Visitors can feel the harmonious integration of the Chinese New Year characteristics and Florence’s style while walking around the exotic square, veranda, fountain, and commemorative building.

From January 22 to 24, folk activities such as the Spring Festival parades and live band performances will strengthen the festive atmosphere.

In addition, Florentia Village Chongqing also celebrates its second anniversary, for which it has launched a shopping carnival under the theme of “Prosperous Year of the Rabbit,” with special offers, complimentary products, and lucky draws.

As the second site of Italian-style large-scale discount outlets for famous high-end products in Southwest China, Florentia Village Chongqing has attracted more than 100 well-known brands at home and abroad since its opening in 2021. Many famous products of such brands as Zegna, Jimmy Choo, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Tory Burch were brought to Florentia Village Chongqing for the first time.
