Italian Historical Society of SA Inc.

Italian Historical Society of SA Inc. The Italian Historical Society a non-profit organisation, was relaunched in 2014 to collect, preserve and foster the Italian immigration to South Australia

The primary objective of the Society is the collection of the Oral Histories of first-hand accounts of Italian immigrants and their descendants to South Australia. It will focus not only on the individual’s experiences but also on the establishment of the socio-cultural institutions to support the migrant community and the descendants. The spoken word is often the most poignant testimony of the challenges and successes of immigration.

The Italian Historical Society would like to extend its sincere thanks to Anne Mercorella for graciously opening her home and hosting the Torrone-making afternoon.
It was a relaxed and enjoyable gathering, where Anne showcased her wonderful skills and demonstrated the art of making Torrone.
We also express our gratitude to our Events Coordinator, Silvana Zerella, for organising such a seamless and successful event.
A special thank you to Anne and her hubby Sam for their generous hospitality in providing refreshments, including a glass of bubbly and delicious nibbles.
We look forward to the second Torrone-making session on Sunday, 17 May, which is now fully booked.

✨ Post-Christmas Lunch at Buonasera ✨

What a beautiful way to come together after Christmas, sharing a long lunch at Buonasera Restaurant filled with laughter, stories, and of course, incredible food. 🍝🍷

The table was full, the plates kept coming, and the spirit of togetherness reminded us what the festive season is really about: good company, great hospitality, and taking the time to enjoy one another.

A huge thank you to the Buonasera team for looking after us so generously and for creating such a welcoming space to gather, reflect, and celebrate the season just passed.

Here’s to full hearts, happy memories, and many more shared meals ahead. ❤️
