The Italian-style street in Phase 3 of Optics Valley Pedestrian Street, located at the heart of the 1,350-meter-long street, is a highlight of the entire street's architectural art. Its Renaissance-style Italian architecture and romantic themes, such as wedding streets and bar streets, bring an unprecedented touch of romance and tenderness to the rugged city of Wuhan.
From the Duomo Cathedral in the center of Milan, from the love memorial wall in the hometown of Romeo and Juliet, from the musical fountains on the streets of Venice, from the statues of figures in the ancient Roman Forum, and from the architectural style of Tuscany.
