Asia-wide Celebrations | DP Group Celebrates Italy’s 80th Republic Anniversary
June 2026 marks the historic milestone of the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic. As an international group long dedicated to building legal and commercial bridges for cross-border investments, DP Group demonstrated its powerful group synergy and deep market presence during this grand occasion.
From political and cultural capitals to frontline economic hubs, from key southwestern cities to the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asian markets, the management, partners, and senior counsels from across DP Group’s entities proudly attended the prestigious gala celebrations in various cities. Standing at this historic 80-year milestone, we continue to deepen cross-border collaborations and honor our unwavering commitment to “Italian Excellence” through our professional expertise.
DAndrea & Partners’ Founder & Managing Partner, Carlo D’Andrea, alongside Equity Partner, Matteo Zhi, jointly attended the high-profile #FestaDellaRepubblica gala events in both Guangzhou and Chengdu. The presence of our senior leadership underscores DP Group’s absolute commitment to empowering regional markets. It sends a strong signal of our dedication to enhancing government-to-business dialogues and helping Italian and Chinese enterprises achieve cross-border success in these dynamic regions.
At our Group’s key hub in Shanghai, leaders of DP Group’s three core business divisions attended the celebration. Present were Aris Xie (Partner at D’Andrea & Partners Legal Counsel), Anna Gai (General Manager of EASTANT Communication & Events) and Gianluca Bonissoni (General Manager of PHC Advisory). The collaboration across legal, communications & events and tax advisory teams highlights our integrated full-range service strengths. Rooted in Shanghai’s international platform, we will work together to bolster the development of cross-border business.
DP Group’s senior experts attended the 2026 National Day Receptions of the Italian Republic in Beijing and Chongqing to forge effective communication links. Claudia Cao, Government Affairs Manager, had in-depth talks with institutional representatives and diplomats at the Beijing event, reinforcing our strengths in government-business engagement and bilateral policy coordination. Charles Xu, Counsel at D’Andrea & Partners, took part in the Chongqing reception and explored investment and innovation opportunities in China’s inland opening-up hub and southwestern markets alongside local business partners.
DP Group’s presence spanned major strategic cities across mainland of China, extending to core hubs in the Greater Bay Area, key markets in Southeast Asia and India. Our team attended the 2026 National Day Receptions of the Italian Republic at all these locations. Stefano Catozzi from PHC Advisory represented the Group at the reception in Hong Kong. As an international financial center, Hong Kong serves as a vital gateway for cross-border capital flows and business expansion between China and Italy. Salvatore Banco, Head of Ho Chi Minh City & South China Offices at D’Andrea & Partners, attended the reception in Vietnam. Riccardo Verzella, Partner at D’Andrea & Partners, also took part in the reception in India. With the steady expansion of our overseas business, Vietnam, India and other regions have emerged as new key markets connecting Italy, China and the ASEAN free trade ecosystem.
Through 80 years of history, the friendship and cooperation between Italy and Asia have grown ever stronger amid the changing global landscape. From Shanghai to Ho Chi Minh City, and from Beijing to Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Hong Kong, DP Group’s wide-reaching presence is a true testament to the strength of our diverse and international team.
Honoring 80 Years with Unwavering Dedication. Looking ahead, DP Group will continue to leverage its full synergies in Legal, Tax, and Business Advisory to serve as a trusted guide and guardian for cross-border investments. Together with our partners, we look forward to driving a more prosperous business future!
