To mark the 80th anniversary of the proclamation of the Italian Republic, celebrations will take place on Sunday, May 31 at the Calabria Club in Bulla, a historic gathering place for the Calabrian community in Australia.

The Committee will soon call a meeting with clubs and associations to actively involve the community in planning and organising the event.

It will be a special opportunity to honour a key date in Italian history, celebrated with the pride and passion that have always distinguished Italians abroad.
