About Italian Week
Celebrating its 5th year and enjoying continued growth through strategic partnerships, Italian Week offers an insight into the modern Italy. The primary objective of Italian Week is the promotion of Italian culture and lifestyle and its prominent influence on the Australian lifestyle. Italy is a vibrant country with cutting edge technologies in fashion, the arts, manufacturing and “la bella vita”.
Italian Week is designed to showcase and celebrate all things Italian with a view of promoting its integration across cultures.
It is with the support of organizations like the Brisbane City Council, Queensland Government, Treasury Casino, Commonwealth Bank and Elio Moda that Italian Week has been able grow across the State. Our loyal friends from Di Bella Coffee, Angelo's Fresh Pasta and ItaliQuore form the foundation pillars for Italian Week. Brisbane News and Qantas enable us to get our message out to the world.
Our vision encompasses a weeklong event drawing national and international audiences to participate in the celebration of all things Italian with the cornerstone built on celebrating Italian lifestyle and culture and promoting commercial endeavors which allows growth and sustainability via economic success.
Based on the original philosophy of collaborating with many cultural organizations on a mutually beneficial program, Italian Week has spread to encompass active and enthusiastic participation from hotels, restaurants, importers, vineyards, bars and coffee shops which feature prominently throughout Italian Week
