Ciao mi amores!

With school holidays fast approaching it’s prime time for all our Mamas and Papas to start planning the family adventures that will keep their bambinis happy, active and engaged (while creating magical memories along the way!).

While the thought of jetting to Rome or Naples on an international family holiday is enticing,  getting the whole clan to Italy is an expensive and time-consuming commitment.

So why not to get a taste of a whirlwind trip to Italy without leaving home? Try these fantastico school holiday experiences that will have the little ones asking for more.

Lavazza Italian Film Festival

With a huge number of screenings celebrating the Italian language, culture and la dolce vita at Palace Cinemas in Leichhardt, Paddington and Chippendale, there’s a session for everyone.
