🇮🇹🇦🇺 Our final day in Perth: meaningful meetings, memorable moments and new connections.

Andrea Acciai, National Coordinator of Patronato ACLI - Associazioni Cristiane Lavoratori Italiani Australia, together with Andrea Pastacaldi of Made Of Italy rounded off this visit with a day dedicated to community and Italian culture.

In beautiful City Of Fremantle, we met with John Alberti of Alberti Realty to discuss current and future community projects, sharing ideas and opportunities for collaboration.

In the evening, we attended a wonderful event exploring Elena Ferrante’s L’amica geniale — My Brilliant Friend at the The University of Western Australia , in the presence of the Consul of Italy in Perth Consolato d’Italia a Perth , as part of the Week of the Italian Language in the World with the involvement of the Dante Alighieri Society of Western Australia Dante.

A packed lecture theatre enjoyed a fascinating conversation with publisher Eva Ferri and translator Ann Goldstein, who joined remotely, with Ann connecting from New York. The event was introduced by Dr Maria Rosaria Francomacaro of UWA and moderated by journalist Ada Guglielmino.

A beautiful reminder of how language, literature and culture bring people together across generations and borders.

For Patronato ACLI Australia, these days have been a valuable opportunity to listen, build relationships and strengthen ties with the Western Australian community, laying the foundations for future collaborations.

A special thank you to Andrea Pastacaldi for sharing every stage of this visit, and to everyone we met for their warm welcome, time and ideas.

We leave with wonderful memories and new connections. Arrivederci, Perth! ❤️

🇮🇹 La lingua italiana è un legame che attraversa generazioni, custodisce ricordi e mantiene vive le nostre radici.

Ieri abbiamo avuto il piacere di partecipare, presso l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Sydney, all’incontro con Cristian Bonetto dedicato al suo libro “Italo”, nell’ambito della Settimana della Lingua Italiana nel Mondo.

Un’occasione piacevole per ascoltare l’autore e scambiare impressioni sul rapporto tra lingua, identità e appartenenza. Attraverso ricordi e aneddoti della sua esperienza di figlio di immigrati italiani cresciuto in un contesto anglofono, Bonetto ha raccontato anche il ruolo dei genitori nel mantenere vivo l’italiano in famiglia: una scelta capace di trasmettere, insieme alla lingua, un patrimonio di cultura e affetti.

Un libro che abbiamo acquistato con piacere, per continuare questa riflessione anche dopo l’incontro.

Un sentito ringraziamento al direttore Marco Gioacchini e all’Istituto Italiano di Cultura Sydney per l’organizzazione e l’opportunità di confronto, alla presenza del Console Generale d’Italia Gianluca Rubagotti

Anche noi come ACLI - Associazioni Cristiane Lavoratori Italiani, abbiamo avuto il piacere di proporne alcune: esperienze che desideriamo continuare a coltivare insieme alla comunità, per mantenere vivo il legame con l’Italia e trasmetterlo alle nuove generazioni.

🇮🇹 Italian Citizenship for Children Born Abroad: Key Deadlines

Italian families abroad should note the updated deadlines for acquiring citizenship through a declaration under beneficio di legge:

📅 31 May 2029: The extended deadline for eligible children who were under 18 on 24 May 2025. This transitional provision applies where a parent’s Italian citizenship by birth was recognised through an administrative or judicial application submitted by 27 March 2025, or an application based on an appointment communicated by that date.

📅 Within three years of birth: The ordinary deadline for the parents’ declaration, where at least one parent is an Italian citizen by birth and the legal requirements are met. The period may run from a later date when parentage or adoption is established.

Turning 18? Eligible children covered by the transitional provision who reach adulthood must submit the declaration personally by 31 May 2029.

Please check your family’s eligibility and submission requirements with the Italian Consulate well before the deadline.
