Message from
The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor of Brisbane
Councillor Campbell Newman
Italian Week is a fantastic celebration of Italian culture in Queensland. The festival gives a snapshot of what it is to be Italian and gives all of Brisbane a chance to experience the best of Italian food, art, performance, fashion, engineering and design.
The Italian Week festival has grown from strength to strength in the last few years and is now very much a part of the Brisbane multicultural calendar.
As Lord Mayor, I am pleased to support festivals like Italian Week that promote our city’s vibrant multicultural community. Brisbane has a significant Italian population that makes an important contribution to our city’s economic, social, and cultural life.
The theme of this year’s Italian Week, “La Bella Figura”, describes the Italian philosophy of life with an emphasis on beauty, aesthetics and decorum. The program covers a diverse range of ticketed and free events. There is something for everyone and I encourage you to come along and show your support for the festival.
Congratulations to the organisers of Brisbane’s Italian Week on a wonderful program of events for 2010.
Campbell Newman
LORD MAYOR
