What begins with the smell of garlic drifting over a fence becomes a story of food, generosity and belonging.

In Mount Hawthorn, Maria del Carmen (Maria Newall) recalls Sundays around Francesca’s table — golden arancini, bowls of pasta, homemade w**e and, once a year, the much-anticipated Salsa Day. Crates of sun-warmed Roma tomatoes, steaming pots and rows of bottles transformed summer’s harvest into passata that would last well into winter.

Years later and now living in Andalucia, Maria continues the ritual on a smaller scale, bottling a handful of tomatoes each season and keeping alive a connection that stretches across continents.

A beautiful reflection on the traditions we inherit not through instruction, but through food, community and the generosity of those who welcome us to their table.

From Southern Italy to Melbourne - and far beyond.
The 5th Segmento Tarantella Festival brings together musicians and performers representing three continents: Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Alongside the rich traditions of Calabria, Campania, and Sicily, we are thrilled to welcome:

MATE (Melbourne African Traditional Ensemble)
QiQi - traditional Chinese performance
Kunlasatee - graceful Thai traditional dance
Because cultural heritage becomes stronger when traditions meet rather than remain apart.

The Segmento Tarantella Festival is evolving into a truly international celebration of traditional cultures.

This year Southern Italy arrives in Australia through three extraordinary musical
traditions.

Calabria — Ciccio Nucera and Alessandro Santacaterina
Campania — Ars Nova Napoli
Sicilia — Scupriri

Different dialects. Different instruments. Different rhythms.
But one shared Mediterranean soul.
At the Segmento Tarantella Festival, tradition is not displayed.

It is played. It is danced. It is lived.
23–25 October 2026.

Have you ever noticed that the Segmento Tarantella Festival logo changes every year?

There is a little secret behind it.
Each edition adds another musician to the Festival family.
First edition: one.
Second edition: two.
Third edition: three…
And now?
5th Edition. Five musicians.

Because the Festival itself has grown exactly the same way — one artist, one story,
one community and one new connection at a time.
Look carefully at this year
There are five of us now.

Yesterday we planted the first seed of something very special. 🌱🍆🌶️

During yesterday’s &Chilli Festival, Calabria Club President Sam Sposato officially presented to members and the wider community the vision for the Eco Park della Calabria — an ambitious project that will progressively transform around 10 acres of the Calabria Club grounds into an educational eco-farm and community learning space.

The Eco Park will bring together heritage, sustainability, education and wellbeing, creating opportunities to work with schools, aged-care organisations and the broader community through gardening, food production, environmental education and intergenerational activities.

We were also proud to celebrate an important milestone: the Calabria Club has successfully received support through the Multicultural Infrastructure and Capacity Building grants, providing an essential foundation for the preparation and future development of the project.

Our sincere thanks to all our special guests and speakers who joined us and shared their reflections on community, culture, sustainability and the importance of passing knowledge to future generations:

Mauri - Consul General of Italy

Lily D'Ambrosio MP

Evan Mulholland MP


Their contributions reflected the many dimensions of the Eco Park — from cultural heritage and multiculturalism to environmental responsibility, education and community cohesion.

A very special acknowledgement also goes to Ubaldo Aglianò Quin Scalzo and Fedi, who shared their personal testimonies and appreciation for the vision behind the project, and for what the Eco Park can represent for the future of the Calabria Club and the wider Italian-Australian community.

Thank you also to Kavisha Paola Mazzella and Nick Lyon for bringing music into the celebration, and to our extraordinary Nonne on a Mission, whose food, generosity and knowledge once again showed exactly what this project is about: vegetables becoming food, traditions becoming experiences, and generations coming together.

📖 Read the attached brochure to discover the project in greater detail and learn how you can become part of it.

❤️ You can support us by:
liking and sharing our posts, following the Calabria Club, becoming a volunteer, sharing your ideas or making a donation.

Every contribution — your time, ideas, support or donation — helps us move this project forward.

Together, we can preserve the traditions we inherited while creating a more sustainable, inclusive and educational future for the generations to come.

From Italy to McLaren Vale: where old-world w**emaking meets South Australian terroir.

Since the post-war migration era, Italian families including the Grilli, Maglieri, Mitolo and Zerella have helped shape McLaren Vale into one of Australia’s most celebrated w**e regions.

Bringing generations of w**emaking knowledge from Le Marche, Abruzzo and Campania, these families introduced Italian techniques, varietals and traditions while creating w**es distinctly influenced by the South Australian landscape.

From Primo Estate and Serafino Wines to Mitolo and Zerella Wines, their stories are ones of migration, family, innovation and a deep connection to the land.

In our latest Travel and Places story, Isabella Vagnoni explores how Italian heritage continues to shape the vineyards and w**e culture of McLaren Vale. Read the full article here: https://www.segmento.com.au/post/from-italy-to-mclaren-vale

There’s another side of Italy beyond the famous landmarks and crowded itineraries — one that asks you to slow down and truly experience a place.

ViviLocal Journeys’ Cilento Yoga Retreat brought travellers to Southern Italy for five days of yoga, local food, artisanship, storytelling and connection.

From making mozzarella and working with local ceramic artisans to exploring hilltop villages and practising yoga surrounded by nature, each experience offered a deeper connection to Cilento and its people.

At its heart was a simple philosophy: travel shouldn’t be measured by how much you see, but by how deeply you experience what’s in front of you.

Architecture is at its best when it creates emotion, atmosphere, and lasting memories.

At Dimora Manfredo Luxury Eco B&B in San Nicola Arcella, architect Domenico De Rito has crafted a contemporary retreat that embraces natural light, renewable energy, accessibility, and the beauty of the Mediterranean landscape. From custom-designed oak and glass details to intelligent lighting that respects the night sky, every element reflects a commitment to sustainability and human experience.

A project where architecture doesn't simply build spaces—it builds a feeling.

What does luxury at home look like today?

Increasingly, it’s less about size, opulence and excess — and more about how a space makes us feel.

As our lives become busier, noisier and more digitally connected, the way we design our homes is changing. Natural light, thoughtful layouts, warm materials, acoustics and spaces that encourage connection can all contribute to a greater sense of calm and wellbeing.

It’s a philosophy with deep roots in Italian design, where the home has long been more than a functional space. It’s a place for gathering, ritual, conversation and connection.

It’s an approach reflected in the work of Encore Casa, bringing together architecture, interiors and construction to create spaces that balance contemporary Australian living with the warmth and human connection at the heart of Italian design.

Because great architecture isn’t only about how a home looks, it’s about how it makes you feel.
