In Islamabad, He came, served and he left, if one would exactly define Agostino Gaetano Bono, an Italian diplomat in federal capital, who launched his book titled ‘Urdu-Atalvi Muhawraat Aor Zarbul Amsaal Ka Majmua’ (Piccolo dizionario di proverbi ed espressioni idiomatiche in Urdu e Italiano) on Saturday.
In a glitzy even attended by literati, art lovers, diplomats and students, that book was launched to promote Urdu literature for the people of Italy across Pakistan and outside it.
The book containing 341 pages with a tag price of Rs 350 is one of the basic reasons Bono discuss with Daily Times to help two nations people, in understanding and knowing each other in a good way that may lead to improve their diplomatic relations.
In fluent Urdu, Agostino Gaetano Bono said in his speech, the book is written in two national languages Urdu and Italian. “I collected the idioms and proverbs in this book after working very hard and with tireless efforts to add the details of their proper use in this book,” Bono said in Urdu.
He recently opened a department for Italian Languages in National University of Modern Languages (NUML); he had decided to give 50 copies of his book to the university’s Rector Dr. Aziz Ahmad Khan. “In addition to this, I am donating a part of my personal library which constitutes three encyclopedias on history, geography and general topics,” Bono said.
