On June 24, students from Year 10 and Year 12 Italian classes embarked on an enriching journey to Museo Italiano (COASIT) located on Faraday Street in Carlton. The purpose of our visit was to delve into the fascinating history of Italian migration to Australia.
The highlight of our day was a captivating presentation at Museo COASIT. Through vivid visuals and engaging audio, we learned about the challenges faced by Italian immigrants during the 1950s. The museum also highlighted the sense of community that blossomed among Italians in Lygon Street, affectionately known as “La Piccola Italia” (Little Italy).
Following the presentation, the group had the opportunity to explore the extensive museum
The exhibits provided deeper insights into the migration journey, connecting us to Italian cultural heritage.
Our adventure continued with a delightful stop at Brunetti Classico, where we savoured traditional cannoli. Later, we headed to Universal Cafe for lunch, indulging in Italian classics such as penne napoli, penne carbonara, and various pizzas.
After lunch, we explored Lygon Street, some of the group treating themselves to coffee and desserts at the charming cafes lining the street.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Prof Selva and Prof Marasco for their unwavering support in enhancing our understanding of Italian culture and history.
