Celebrating the contribution of Italian migrants to the state of Queensland
Join us on October 15th. 2pm-5pm
Italian immigration to Queensland is a captivating blend of history and a promising future. From the late 19th century Italians left an indelible mark on culture, cuisine, and communities. Their enduring influence is felt far and wide across the state.
Post World War II, Italian immigrants played a pivotal role in Queensland's growth, significantly boosting the economy in construction, mining, and agriculture. Today, a new wave of young Italians infuses renewed vitality and innovation into Queensland's heritage, promising a vibrant future.
The Confluenza Monument in Roma Street Parklands symbolises fusion of traditions. Italians, past and present, enrich Queensland's identity and legacy, reminding us of their strength derived from unity and shared aspirations.
