Melbourne-born second-generation Italian Michael Costanzo founded D.O.C Espresso Bar on Lygon Street in 2003. He quickly earned acclaim as the artisan pizza godfather, with now seven venues across Victoria.
Anna Sergi, Professor of Criminology at Essex University, talks to Segmento about her research project challenging stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding organized crime within Italian communities abroad.
From Deruta in Umbria to Crookwell in NSW, Marg Anderson and Jan Pont, along with their good friends Mike and Marguerite Walsh, import Australia’s largest range of glazed Italian earthenware through Paradiso Ceramics.
Segmento interviewed two Melburnian musicians keeping folk music alive. Kavisha Mazzella and Elvira Andreoli, both independent singers and songwriters, discuss the role of folk culture in a multicultural society.
Segmento speaks to artist Chiara Corbelletto about her life as an Italian visual artist working in Aotearoa-New Zealand, and about her most recent public sculpture dedicated to gender equality, 1001 Spheres, in Auckland.
