Fascinating insights into the #sustainabilty considerations introduced into Italian #tourism.

Visiting the places of one’s origins can give powerful meaning and insight into how we live our combined backgrounds, as well as develop strong sense of #community. This initiative of the Italian government merits strong support and we hope many 2-3 generation Italian-Australians will take up the opportunity.

… and now we know why so many Italian newly weds visit #KangarooIsland for their #honeymoon, via for @KatrineHildyardForReynell, representing Zoe Bettison. Thank you to @FogolarAdelaide for preparing the venue and refreshments so well.

Molti spunti interessanti su come la #sostenibilità dell' #ambiente venga introdotta nel #turismo in Italia.

Visitare i luoghi delle proprie origini può dare senso profondo ed intuizioni utili sul come vivere la propria diversità #multiculturale ed #interculturale, oltre a sviluppare il senso di #comunità. Quest’iniziativa del governo italian del #turismodelleradici merita appoggio e speriamo che molti Italo-Australiani ne approfittino.

… ora sappiamo perché talmente tante giovani coppie italiane visitino #KangarooIsland in #lunadimiele #viaggiodinozze, attraverso la ministra Katrine Hildyard, che ha rappresentato la ministra Zoe Bettison MP. Grazie al Fogolar Furlan per aver preparato così bene il club ed i rinfreschi per l’evento.

It was a great night, and this plaque is a recognition of the great work that our associations do when they collaborate, promoting culture and language. On the same night, more plaques were presented to fruitful collaborators, as Fogolar Furlan Adelaide , Altavilla Club and our consul Ernesto Pianelli Consolato d'Italia Adelaide.

Congratulations 🙌 it was a memorable and enjoyable evening. Thankyou to the committee of Dante Alighieri Society of SA Inc.

The Consul of Italy, Ernesto Pianelli, had the recent pleasure of meeting with Marco Fontana, Managing Director of Ghella Australia, an internationally renowned Italian construction company, to discuss potential investment opportunities in South Australia.
