It was a great pleasure to hear the comments of the Italian Ambassador to Australia, His Excellency Stefano Starace-Janfolla when he met with the Italian Week team in Brisbane at Gianni’s Restaurant. The Ambassador thanked the team for the collaboration with the Italian Consulate in promoting Italian Culture via the young Italian/Australian team.
