The Italian edition is titled “La Via Della Rivoluzione” and includes lectures by Nguyen Ai Quoc, an alias of Ho Chi Minh, at training courses for staff of the Vietnamese Revolutionary Youth League, held in Guangzhou, China, between 1925 and 1927.

The Anteo Edizioni publishing house, the Italy – Vietnam Friendship Association and Honourary Consul of Vietnam in Turin Sandra Scagliotti worked together on the publication.

In the book’s foreword, Scagliotti, who was its Italian editor, said the work, carrying significant values in terms of revolutionary theory and practice, was the basis for spreading Marxist-Leninist revolutionary doctrine in Vietnam.

Its publication will help Italians learn more about Vietnam and the country’s history, and shorten the gap in Vietnamese studies between Italy and other European countries, she added.

At the launch event, the head of the Italy – Vietnam Friendship Association Fausto Co said the book was written in a simple, concise and lucid manner.

Director of the Anteo Edizioni publishing house Stefano Bonilauri considered the book a valuable work from historical and cultural angles.

He said the publishing house plans to launch more publications about Vietnam.
