Little Italy - Melbourne

If you are from Europe - Italy and not only, and you want to remember how it was, just take a walk on Lygon Street - Carlton on a Saturday night.

Towards the centre of the Carlton suburb - the "italian" suburb of Melbourne, on the corner of Lygon Street and Argyle Place, there is a small Italian-inspired piazza named Piazza Italia - a joint-redevelopment by Melbourne and its sister city, Milan, in Italy.

La Dolce Italia, is an Italian festival organized in and near Piazza Italia on 27th of February 2011, and offers a fresh new look to what was once the iconic Lygon Street Festa, which was sadly canceled in 2009.

Before the festival, on 26th of Feb - Italian music and short films :


Once you are there, don't miss the restaurants and get a good pizza.







or an ice cream



The Guinness World Record Attempt - World's longest pizza preparations before the event :



Don't know yet what was the result of this attempt, but the weather was not so great on Sunday so they might have had some problems.
All the photos above are taken on Saturday. Next year I'll try to provide photos from the actual festival.
