A Chinese-Italian dictionary with 100,000 headwords, jointly compiled by an Italian professor and a Chinese professor, has been published in The "Grande Dizionario Cinese-Italiano," which took more than 10 years in the making, contains a vast collection of terms forming the basic lexicon of the Chinese language. It also includes many specialist terms, from archaisms still in use to foreign words that have entered everyday language -- cappuccino or tiramisu, for example, in the case of Italian. The two compilers are Giorgio Casacchia, professor of Chinese philological studies at the Orientale University of Naples, and Professor Bai Yukun of the Foreign Language University of Beijing.
