Italian Style Street is an important part of the Italian-Austrian Style Area, a renowned historical and architectural preservation district in Tianjin. Many films such as *City of Life and Death* and *Sophie's Revenge* have also been shot here. 1. The Origin of Italian Style Street: In the early 20th century, Tianjin was home to concessions established by eight foreign powers. Foreigners built numerous European-style buildings here for their offices and residences. A century later, if you stroll along the Haihe River in Tianjin today, you can still see these diverse architectural styles. In 1900, following the failure of the Boxer Rebellion, the weakened Qing government and representatives of 11 nations signed the humiliating Boxer Protocol. Italy took this opportunity to secure the right to establish a concession in Tianjin. The Italian concession was located between the current Beian Bridge and Tianjin Railway Station, behind Yuanyang Building (our company’s office location). Over 100 years ago, this area was a salt field. In 1902, Italy appointed a Marine Corps lieutenant named Filete as the project manager in charge of planning and constructing the Italian concession. Thanks to this opportunity, an ordinary Italian was forever etched into Tianjin’s history. True to their heritage as descendants of the Roman Empire, Italians showcased their finest architectural traditions even in a foreign land. During the construction of the concession, they developed a comprehensive road network and public utilities centered around Marco Polo Square. Buildings were primarily designed as Italian garden villas, and strict regulations ensured that no two street-front buildings were identical. In late 1998, as part of the comprehensive development of the Haihe River, the Italian Style Area was launched. Leveraging the area’s unique historical and cultural resources, the project aimed to create a vibrant district embodying rich Italian character, integrating tourism, commerce, leisure, entertainment, and cultural exhibitions. The development is now nearing completion, and a brand-new scenic area will soon be unveiled to the world.
