Established in 2010 and located in the heart of Carlton, Museo Italiano is the only permanent exhibition of its kind in Australia. This popular exhibition features rare objects, images, and stories from CO.AS.IT.’s Italian Historical Society, and engaging multimedia presentations which celebrate Italian immigration and its invaluable contribution to the development of Melbourne, Victoria and Australia. Through its themes of Departure, Settlement, Interaction and Identity, the exhibition explores all aspects of the Italian immigration story from the early 1700s onwards.
