2024 marks the 700th anniversary of the death of Marco Polo, an Italian traveler and pioneer of East-West cultural exchanges, as well as the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 20th anniversary of the establishment of China-Italy comprehensive strategic partnership.
The micro-documentary "O Sole Mio, My Mi-se" combines real-life shooting with AI technology to tell the story of Cristina Galietto, a young classical guitarist from the ancient Italian port city of Naples, who came to China for a guitar exchange and tour. She first arrived in Cixi City, Ningbo, east China's Zhejiang Province, the starting point of the "maritime ceramic road" and the origin of the imperial Mi-se porcelain, one of the most famous celadons in ancient China. She learns that celadon porcelain was a court instrument in the same way that the classical guitar was a court instrument during the Renaissance. She performs a duet of the Neapolitan folk song "O Sole Mio" with musicians from the Celadon Ou Music Art Troupe. This innovative collaboration was the first-ever duet performance using the classical guitar and Celadon Ou Music in musical history.
Benefiting from China's 144-hour visa-free transit policy, Galietto can be seen as a Marco Polo of the new era, using music to promote cultural exchanges and mutual learning between two ancient civilizations, safeguarding and passing on the common cultural heritage of mankind.
