News and Events
Our representatives appreciated the opportunity to be included in the
Mission, arranged by the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Sydney.
Parma Mission to Australia
Over three days, they attended presentations by Barilla, a conference ‘The
Importance of Traditional Food in Italy and Australia’ included various
keynote speakers, including President Zanlari, discussing the role of
cooking schools, cooking traditional foods with the right ingredients and
tasting of typical products – Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano.
The conference was attended by food sector journalists, food importers,
members of the Australian Chambers, restaurants and other interested
sectors
Early November, President Mario Leonti, Vice-President, Cav. Antonio
Cacace and Councillor Michael Stephens, travelled to Sydney for three
days as the guests of the Chamber of Commerce of Parma, on the occasion
of their Mission to Australia.
Other meetings included a visit to the Italian Forum Cultural Centre,

representatives from the Parma Chamber of Commerce and Italian

Innovative Travel MD elected to
Canterbury Employers Chamber of
Commerce Board
Congratulations to ICCNZ Member, Robyn Galloway, Managing Director of
Innovative Travel, who has been newly elected to the Canterbury
Employers Chamber of Commerce Board. Robyn says she is very pleased
to have been elected, given that there were 19 nominations, 12 positions
and only two new members appointed. She says that after 20 years in
business she would like to become more involved in the national issues for
business owners and specifically SMEs.
“There are common concerns
which face many small companies, including the cost of Government
compliance,” says Robyn.
“Sometimes our voice is not heard very
effectively, but I hope by taking a step towards being more active in
decision making, that long term this may change.”

Patricia Hurley’s Italian for Opera Singers Masterclasses, Tuscany, and
Concerts in Tuscany and Rome, Italy, September 2009
Since 2002 Patricia Hurley has been organising her Masterclasses for New
th
Zealand opera singers in a beautiful 18 century villa in Tuscany. Nearly
30 of New Zealand’s top young opera singers have attended including
Anna Leese, Aivale Cole and Ben Makisi.
Because learning Italian is so necessary for opera singers and because
there are few learning opportunities in New Zealand, Patricia, after being
manager of the Wellington opera company, decided to seek opportunities
in Italy for singers to be introduced to Italian language and culture, the
opera icons of Italy and to perform on Italian stages.
Don’t miss this opportunity to step back
in time to ancient Pompeii.
Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington

Add a special touch, with dinner at Hippopotamus, the hotel’s award
winning in-house restaurant offers harbour views and French style cuisine
by Laurent Loudeac.
This year our performers were sopranos Julia Booth from Hamilton, Kirstin
Sharpin, an Aucklander resident in the UK, and Timua Brennan from
Rotorua. Each day they had lessons with a foremost language teacher
from nearby Siena and individual coaching with Maestro Wyn Davies,
preparing for Concerts in the Grand Salone of the Villa where we have
built up quite a following, and in the 2000 year old Theatre of Marcellus
in Rome, as part of the Rome Summer Nights Festival. Our appearance
there was supported by the New Zealand Embassy and representatives of
the Embassy and 50 of their guests along with 300 people were in the
audience.
At each concert, Timua’s “Canti Maori” (“Maori Songs”)
alongside the Italian Opera Arias, gave a particular resonance to our
presentation.
Julia Booth summed up the success of the Masterclasses: “Access to
language enlightens music in new ways, but it came as a surprise to
discover the buildings, cathedrals and art, all gave the music and singing a
new perspective. The connections seem obvious but it is not until you
experience this first hand that you appreciate how deeply full immersion
into Italian culture can influence your understanding of and interest in
music and performance of opera.”
Cav. Patricia Hurley
Antonio’s “The 2010 Grand Tour”
Cav. Antonio Cacace of La Bella Italia, started food and culture tours in
2006. The tours started as a way of fulfilling his passion for the products,
perfumes, colours of Italy and especially his hometown. Many people have
shared this passion and want, even more, to experience it.
This 2010 tour is the culmination of many customer requests, now friends.
Departing October 2010 for more information contact Antonio at La Bella
