Interactions

The Interactions section of Museo Italiano explores four significant platforms through which Italians and the broader Australian community were able to interact and influence each other: 
food,
language,
performance
sport.

Objects in this section have been selected to tell significant stories about the community and the two way exchange. They include one of the first espresso machines imported to Melbourne, a jersey made to celebrate the naming of the Italian AFL team of the century, the film clip of Joe Dolce’s iconic, ironic song, “Shuddup you face”, and a dictionary of Australian-Italian.
