The Italian Week 2009 prodotto da Alessandro Sorbello per conto del Consolato d’Italia a Brisbane, ormai alla sua terza edizione, ritorna in una location d’eccezione: la sempre attiva e frenetica Queen Street. La via, con i suoi locali e negozi ha contribuito a dare un ulteriore fascino all’evento trasmettendo dinamicità e vitalità tipiche del Bel Paese. Bar e ristoranti d’origine italiana, o che si ispirano alla sua cultura, hanno sponsorizzato la manifestazione e, per l’occasione, sfoggiato il tricolore come segno distintivo di impegno e di vicinanza nei confronti dello stile italiano.
Tra le tante iniziative è stata molto apprezzata dal pubblico, occorso in massa, il “Mercato” organized by Jan Powers. The square opposite the Treasury Casino has tried to recreate those colors, those feelings and atmosphere of the typical Italian street market. Very successful experiment, considering the number of envelopes filled every visitor during the change from a "stall" the next. Samplings, tastings, demonstrations and pasta dishes, freshly prepared, were the main attractions of the morning in the heart of Brisbane.
The next day, free flow of passers-by was beautifully interrupted by the magnificence of the voice of the "Three Tenors", who have interpreted some of the classic songs made memorable by Maestro Pavarotti. The applause, thundering, were the soundtrack never repeated during this event that has touched and given emotions to those who, for the first time, was able to enjoy the pleasure of classical singing.
Following the highlights of "Romeo and Juliet", where players have quickly retraced the famous love story, succeeding in capturing even the youngest. Captivating the scene of the duel in which you challenge the future cousin Romeo "Tybalt" and his best friend Mercutio, with great choreography for the fight. A quick immersion in the theater rewarded by the constancy of the public during the its repetitions.
certainly stands out among the evening events a fashion show organized by the "Tafe Institute, in collaboration with Elio Moda and Subfusco; inspiration Italian brands increasingly emerging in the Australian context. Male and female models have the joy of assistive a fashion show to illustrious positions not only present, as Gian Ludovico De Martino Italian ambassador at the seat of Canberra, but also to simple loops that have been added to the rich crowd that lapped the 'area reserved for the audience. A social event successful thanks to the music of Jaider de Oliveira and Roberto Nobile who improvised a soundtrack unique Brazilian flavor with a touch of sax Nobilia that only can give. A mix apt and overwhelming. Thanks to the Italian Week
Queen Street has become, for a moment, in a race course for the waiters of various Italian restaurants. The latter had the task of running through them to unsuspecting passers-by with a tray with two glasses of beer, the goal of the game, had to be delivered to the finish with the least possible spillage. Clashes, overtaking and funny scenes followed one another until the finish line with the exultation of the public who did not fail to hear their cheering! Sunday 31
the grand finale was held in the frame of Reddacliff Place. Between exposures Italian racing cars (Maserati most admired) the present and the past, surrounded by food stands, gadgets and the voices of Mark Evans and Lisa Hunt (accompanied by the excellent Paul Diotti) were brilliant, and amused, the large audience spoke. Dancing, laughter and joy gave a gushing Sunday to all participants who have seen the "heat" to greet the Italian and Italian Week in anticipation of next year.
