Recently, the Sino-Italian Design Exchange Centre (SIDEC), operated by DoBe Group, received a formal letter of appreciation from the Palazzo Spinelli Institute for Art and Restoration in Florence, Italy. The letter expressed heartfelt gratitude to SIDEC for its long-standing role in promoting deep cooperation between the sister cities of Ningbo and Florence in the fields of art, cultural heritage protection, and restoration.

The Institute highlighted that SIDEC serves as a vital platform for professional dialogue, providing invaluable support for the synergistic development of both cities. Over the past few years, the two parties have carried out fruitful cooperation across multiple dimensions, including art education, the exchange of restoration technologies, and joint professional training. The high level of professionalism and exceptional organizational capabilities demonstrated by the Centre have injected new vitality into the cause of cultural heritage protection for both regions.

The letter of appreciation specifically mentioned that the in-depth discussions on restoration philosophies, traditional craftsmanship, and modern conservation methods have not only promoted mutual cultural enrichment between Ningbo and Florence but have also fulfilled the mission of cultural dissemination and protection within an international perspective. Looking ahead, SIDEC will continue to work closely with the Institute to explore further possibilities in artistic innovation, heritage protection, and specialist training, contributing to a lasting dialogue and pragmatic cooperation between China and Italy in the humanities.
