Press release
Italian Week.
Italian Week celebrates the National Day of Italy, presenting the genius and Italian lifestyle and showcases the very unique Italian experience via Art, gastronomy and luxury conveyance.
This year, 2011 marks a very special point in Italy’s history, on March 17th;
Italy celebrated its 150th anniversary of its unification as a single state.
As we celebrate this important milestone in Italian history, we also honor the joint efforts of those who came to Australia seeking a new life, and to those who embraced Italy’s unique culture and celebrate its lifestyle and traditions.
Honoring this achievement, Italian Week has facilitated a project entitled ‘The Illumination’ which see’s the lighting up of the Story Bridge, the Treasury Casino and Newstead House in red, white and green, the colors of the Italian flag for the duration of Italian Week.
This tribute highlights the integration of Italian culture into Australian lifestyle.
The theme for Italian Week is ‘Dolce Far Niente’ which literally means "sweet doing nothing" or "Delicious idleness". It is sheer indulgent relaxation and blissful relaxation, being deliciously idle, enjoying your leisure time. Indulge yourself in ‘Dolce far Niente’ and enjoy the artistry and traditions of one of the world’s oldest and richest cultures.
