SI PARLA ITALIANO:

Food,  Coffee,  Wine…   and  a  little  bit  of  Gambling    

Narrated  by  AFI  and  Golden  Globe  winner  Anthony  LaPaglia,  this  funny,  touching   and  overall  fascinating  documentary  explores  the  historic  heartland  of  an  Italian   community  and  the  unique  circumstances  that  transformed  a  country’s  way  of   living  and  eating.       After  the  disaster  of  World  War  II,  a  wave  of  Italian  immigrants  found  their  way   to  Australia–  a  strange  place,  suspicious  of  outsiders  and  completely  devoid  of  a   good  cup  of  espresso.  Fearing  what  they  didn’t  understand,  Australians  were   suspicious  of  the  new  arrivals.  Coffee  made  from  odd  machines  and  a  food  called   ‘Pizza’  were  all  things  to  be  wary  of  but  it  wouldn’t  deter  the  passionate  migrants.   Simply,  they  re-­‐created  all  the  things  they  missed from home in one particular street that would assume the name ‘Little Italy’.
