Founded by a mother-son duo, Jupiter 57 is an importer and distributor of Italian confectionery in Singapore. Their journey began with Panettone and stands as a testament to how persistence and passion can turn an unfamiliar treat into a local favourite.

Born to an Italian mother and an Iranian father, Jahan Rezai grew up in the UK before moving to Singapore with his family. In 2004, he began working alongside his mother Giuseppina at Jupiter 57 with one mission in mind: to introduce the iconic Italian sweet bread, Panettone, to the Singaporean market.

From bacari to osterie, clamorous crowds spill onto slender calle and grand campi, juggling cicchetti in one hand and a spritz in the other. This is a part guide, part confession from an avid bacaro goer.

Eeiii raga, andar ai bacari!—Venetian for “Hey guys, let’s hit the bacari!”—routinely shouted after work, was an open invitation to join in the city’s cherished pastime of bar hopping. By 5 pm we became Pavlovian fiends, salivating for that first crisp sip of Aperol and a medley of cicchetti.

The historic centre of Cosenza—a labyrinth of medieval streets, aristocratic palaces, ancient churches, and fortresses—has long been admired as one of Southern Italy’s most beautiful old towns. Yet for many years, it was trapped in a narrative of decay and abandonment.

Recently, however, a subtle yet powerful shift has taken place. People are increasingly referring to the district not as Cosenza Vecchia, but as the Centro Storica (Historic Centre). This change in language signals a deeper transformation: a reclamation of dignity, identity, and recognition of the area’s value for future generations.

Nonne on a Mission!

The Tarantella has always been about more than music and dance. It’s about family, connection and community.

This year’s Segmento Tarantella Festival is your chance to celebrate all three. Nonne and grandparents can bring the grandchildren, share the food, join the dance and keep Calabrian culture alive together.

We’re offering free transport — a gift from us — for grandchildren who want to bring their grandparents, and for grandparents who want to bring their grandchildren.

Plus, every child under 16 years will receive a free tambourine.

Join us on Saturday 25 or Sunday 26 October at Calabria Club, Bulla. Call 9307 1130 to book your spot and celebrate together.

Our Story

The Italians always have had their roots deeply planted in their millenarian culture but they become completely oblivious of the fact that they have packed this historic and rich inheritance into their luggage when migrating to Australia. We hear their stories, we interview them and above all we will provide them with a forum to articulate their views, whether they are multinational enterprises, successful business people or young disoriented talents. We publish features from Italy that will emphasise upcoming events concerning Italian culture in the world.
