The books were written, translated and collected by Pino Tagliazucchi (1921-2005), one of the leading Italian researchers on Vietnam, and his daughter Nora.
Addressing the event, Ambassador Nguyen Hoang Long noted that Pino, a great friend of the Vietnamese people, wrote and translated many books about Vietnam’s history, literature and folk culture.
He also demonstrated a keen interest in writing about great Vietnamese figures such as late President Ho Chi Minh and late General Vo Nguyen Giap, the diplomat said.
Highlighting Pino’s active role as a member of the Italy-Vietnam Friendship Association, Long expressed his belief that the library will help further the cooperation between Vietnam and Italy as well as Allerona city in particular.
