Organised by the Italian Embassy in Hanoi and Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, the exhibition is part of the programme of Vivere all'italiana (Italian Lifestyle) sponsored by Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

The photos, taken by renowned photographer Massimo Sestini, who is winner of the World Press Photo contest, feature Italy’s beauty at dawn and sunset.

After the successful introduction at Palazzo del Quirinale in Rome (Italy), the exhibition is currently touring around the world.

Before showcasing in Hanoi, the exhibition ran at Tan Son Nhat Airport and the Reverie Sai Gon Hotel, in Ho Chi Minh City.
