Sergio Calò: The Chinese government has attached great importance to the protection of cultural heritage and cultural relics, and has also invested heavily. As far as Chongqing is concerned, the Dazu Rock Carvings Research Institute has also achieved great in this respect. Both of its 8-year successful restoration of the statue of Thousand-hand Bodhisattva in Baoding of Dazu Rock Carvings and the ongoing restoration of reclining Buddha have reached a very high level.

These solutions can be applied to the restoration of cultural relics in both countries and to the solutions for the problems shared by both parties. At the same time, these achievements can also be applied to the problems faced by other countries in the protection of cultural relics. Such cooperation between China and Italy in the field of cultural relics’ protection can provide samples for the restoration and protection of cultural relics worldwide.

The World & Chongqing: Based on your experience when working in Chongqing, what do you think is the kind of cooperative relationship between Chinese experts and Italian experts in the field of cultural relics’ remediation?
Sergio Calò: Our cooperation can be perceived as the joint discussion of the solutions participated by the best cultural relic protection experts from both countries with strong cultural heritage protection and rich resources. It reflects the advantages of both of us, and also helps to find ways to improve through mutual exchanges. The workers engaged in the cultural relics repair in both China and Italy should be said to be at an equal level. We are not in the relationship like teachers and students,but the counterparts who both promote the development of the restoration and protection of cultural relics in the world.
