The 221-page book, entitled “Dragon and Butterfly”, was written by Italian reporter Corrado Rugeri and has been released with a 60-minute DVD. Both have been called “a chorus on Vietnam’s land and people”.

Chairman of the Italia-Vietnam Frienship Association Franco Lachini said he was delighted at the book and disk on Vietnam, saying they will make Italian people understand more about the country’s culture and love its people and land.

Reporter Rugeri has a thorough knowledge of Vietnam and he has visited the country many times.
