....and then coming back home I catch the bus my friend Alessia was on last week and I did some photos.

It is the first time I see a bus decorated in this way and certainly it is a nice thing, because the driver loves his bus and wants to make his passengers happy!

Italian Week - Photographic exhibition

The Italian Week has just started today in Brisbane.

I have been involved in this week organizing this exhibition!!

This is the blurb:

I CAME HERE TO STAY.....

This photographic exhibition has been created to document the history of people, both young and old, with an Italian background, who have lived and still live in Queensland. The several participants have expressed their personal experiences and adventures through historical and contemporary images.

The show, organized by Simona Albanese, promoter of Italian art, culture and language, with the assistance of Monica De Nardi, personalized travel manager and art photographer, will be on display during the Italian Week (26 May-2 June) at Vapiano restaurant.

Have a look to the blog created for the occasion:
