Our Story

The Italians always have had their roots deeply planted in their millenarian culture but they become completely oblivious of the fact that they have packed this historic and rich inheritance into their luggage when migrating to Australia. We hear their stories, we interview them and above all we will provide them with a forum to articulate their views, whether they are multinational enterprises, successful business people or young disoriented talents. We publish features from Italy that will emphasise upcoming events concerning Italian culture in the world.
