Liang Qichao scopre l’Italia
Liang Qichao (1873-1929) has been one of the most influential writers and politicians at the end of the Imperial Period. He took part to the One Hundred Days reform plan in 1898, when the Imperial prince Gong envisaged the possibility to begin a vast program of reform of the Imperial system. In this framework, Liang Qichao also created a printing house to translate and disseminate Western ideas in Chinese. One of the first books he published was a presentation of Italian modern history, in which Garibaldi, Mazzini and Cavour where indicated as the heroes of the Italian Risorgimento.
