(ANSA) - WARSAW, DECEMBER 4 - "Italy - Poland, a wonderful 100-year journey together" is the title of the book which was presented at the Italian Embassy in Warsaw at the end of numerous events organized to celebrate the beginning of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1919, "when Poland freed itself from the chains of divisions and joined again the ranks of independent European countries," ambassador Aldo Amati wrote in the introduction. The presentation was attended by many personalities including Anna Anders, Poland's ambassador to the Quirinale, who spoke of the contribution made by her father General Wladyslaw Anders in the liberation of Italy from the German occupiers. It was even recalled that during WW2 the Polish government, then in exile in London, in the name of good bilateral relations has not formally declared war on Italy. The 400-page book published both in Polish and Italian by professor Jerzy Miziolek, former director of the Warsaw National Museum, and Roberto Cincotta, director of the Italian Cultural Institute, in collaboration with Barbara Rejmak, is a collection of essays concerning bilateral diplomatic, political, cultural, economic relations, accompanied by photographs of an era and a valuable Polish and Italian bibliography. On the cover, a graphic dating back to 1927 showing Fiat cars and the car manufacturer's showroom at the Hotel Europejski, at the heart of Warsaw. (ANSA).
