Piazza Italia, Argyle Square, Lygon Street, Melbourne

ANTARA / SITECO light up the heart of Melbourne´s "Little Italy"
Piazza Italia is a celebration of the contribution of Italian migrants to the diverse culture of Melbourne. This uniquely Melbourne space is welcoming, safe and comfortable, featuring new gardens, traditional handcrafted Italian porphyry stone paving, and a giant solar clock that will delight visitors for generations to come. Piazza Italia forms the Eastern end of Argyle Square. The foundation stone for the project was unveiled jointly by Lord Mayor John So and Consul General of Italy, Dr Francesco Calogero on 22 June 2005. The Lord Mayor John So said the Piazza will be a wonderful addition to Melbourne’s famous Italian precinct, Lygon Street. "Melbourne is proud of the sister city relationship with Milan which we signed in March 2004.” Piazza Italia was officially opened on 29th January 2006 and in July 2006 received a Victorian Master Builder’s Association “Excellence in Construction” award in the specialist subcontractor category.
