Illumination of QLD and NT sites for Festa della Repubblica
2 June
It has been the role of COMITES QLD NT for several years to liaise with Brisbane City Council to arrange for the Story Bridge to be lit up in the tricolori in celebration of Festa della Repubblica 2 June.
In 2023 more sites across Queensland and the Northern Territory were illuminated in the tricolori or in azzurro.
The idea of displaying the colours is to
Invite the wider community to enjoy all things Italian
Acknowledge the contribution that Italo-Australians have made and continue to make in local society
Celebrate cultural diversity and inclusivity in our vibrant cities
Provide a beacon of welcome for new arrivals.
