"Shanghai in My Mind" Arrives in Milan – Art and Creativity Are at the Heart of the Intercultural Dialogue Between China and Europe
MILAN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The opening ceremony of the Milan stage of the " Shanghai in My Mind" and the urban promotion event " Amazing Shanghai" was held today at the Rotonda della Besana. The exhibition, which celebrates the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Italy and China, and the 50th anniversary of those between China and the European Union, represents a significant moment in the path of cultural exchange between European and Chinese cities, through the universal language of art.
40 original works on Shanghai have been exhibited, created by artists from China, France, Italy, Japan, the USA and other countries. Paintings, pictures, collages and digital installations tell the story of the multifaceted city through the global eyes.
The exhibition is promoted by the Information Office of the Municipality of Shanghai, with the guidance of the Chinese Consulate General in Milan and the organization of the Shanghai Promotion Center for City of Design. The operations in Italy have been handled by Alto Piano srl. Collaborators: the International Relations Department of the Mayor's Office, Milan&Partners, Italy China Council Foundation, Garuzzo Foundation and other Italian and Chinese companies.
After debuting in Copenhagen in 2023, Shanghai in My Mind brings together works that focus on Shanghai as a symbol of transformation and future.
The Milan stage turned the Rotonda della Besana into a real "Shanghai cultural gathering": visitors were not only able to admire the exhibited artworks, but also take part in interactive activities such as 'blind box' posters and do-it-yourself stamps related to the city's visual identity, as part of the SHANGHAI LET'S MEET programme. An immersive experience that brought the Italian audience closer to the warmth and creativity of the Chinese metropolis.
Art thus becomes a bridge between cultures, cities and people, helping to build a common future based on dialogue, beauty and sharing.

TikTok star Khaby Lame plays soccer in Brazil after US detention
SAO PAULO (AP) — Khaby Lame, the world's most-followed TikTok personality who left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents, went to Brazil where he's been spending some time with friends, local authorities said Thursday. Lame is staying with AC Milan player Emerson Royal, and has been enjoying time with local fans, Paulo Eduardo Dias Junior, a city councilman from Americana, about 78 miles (125 kilometers) northwest of Sao Paulo, told The Associated Press. On Wednesday night, they played a friendly soccer match with locals. Lame left the United States after being detained on June 6 by immigration agents at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, according to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Junior organized Wednesday's match on behalf of the nonprofit he leads, Instituto Jr Dias. He said that Lame and Royal's participation helped collect 150 food baskets for vulnerable families. 'Emerson Royal is a role model for the children in our community, and so is Khaby, who is globally known through social media. He's a sensation among kids today,' Junior said. 'He had a lot of fun with the kids and played a lot.' The councilman said that the team that Lame and Royal were on won 3-1. Everything went smoothly, he added, except for the post-match celebration. As is tradition in Brazil, players gathered for a barbecue. But Lame preferred a parmegiana, so they took him to a local restaurant, Junior said. This is not Lame's first time in Brazil. Last year, he traveled to the country to attend Royal's wedding. Met Gala and then detention Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' an ICE spokesperson told the AP, which sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He hasn't publicly commented on his detention. His detention and voluntary departure from the United States comes amid U.S. President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority . A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old Lame rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks.' He has more than 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and also has Italian citizenship . His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multiyear partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S. ___ Follow AP's coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Are Officially Engaged! All of the Details on Her $100,000 Trend-Forward Diamond Ring
After months of speculation, Dua Lipa confirmed that she and Callum Turner are engaged. The pop star announced the news in British Vogue. The ring, a solitaire diamond set on a chunky band, is estimated to be worth between $65,000 and $125, months of speculation, Dua Lipa finally confirmed her engaged to Callum Turner. The pop star revealed the news in an interview with British Vogue. "Yeah, we're engaged," she told the outlet. "It's very exciting." Rumors of a proposal had started circulating in late 2024, after the pop singer posted a picture on her Instagram of her wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring. However, neither her nor her partner commented on the speculation—until now. In her conversation with the outlet, she disclosed that Turner had the ring made for her with the input of her best friends and her sister. "I'm obsessed with it," she said. "It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well." While the singer didn't reveal the exact details of the sparkler, Susie Saltzman, an engagement ring designer based in New York City, previously told BRIDES that it looks as though it features a solitaire "round brilliant or old European cut" diamond set on a yellow gold chunky, wide band. "The diamond appears to be semi-bezel set or tension set—possibly even fully bezel set," she added. And in terms of the price range? "It's so hard to say without knowing the diamond shape, carat weight, and quality, but I would venture to guess that if it's a high quality natural diamond, over two and a half or three carats, it most likely cost $65,000 to $85,000 on the low end and $125,000 on the high end." Even though the pop star may have confirmed their engagement, she said that the two have yet to make much progress on wedding planning. "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period," she said in the interview. "I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'" While the singer admitted that in the past, she was unsure as to why getting engaged was so important to people, now, with Turner, she gets it. "This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever—it's a really special feeling."

While the two had moved within the same social circles for years, their first official meeting was at The River Cafe in London, where they were introduced by the restaurant's cofounder. A year after that, they crossed paths again in Los Angeles at another restaurant—and began chatting about the book the "Levitating" singer was reading, Trust by Hernan Diaz. "And we both just happened to be reading the same book," she told the outlet. When asked whether all of these coincidences made the star feel as though they were destined to be together, she was confident in her response. "One thousand percent," she told the interviewer.
