Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi landed in Hangzhou in the morning. This is his second visit to China since taking office in 2014. That's also the year Italy and China established a comprehensive strategic partnership. The country was just hit by a massive earthquake, and as a platform of cooperation, the G20 summit will provide support to Rome.
