It will be a case of look but don't touch on Saturday when hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of classy motor vehicles will be on display during Tutti in Piazza.
Four Alfa Romeos, three Ferraris, one Maserati and one Lamborghini, along with three rather more humble but much-loved Vespa mopeds - one of them an HSC project last year for an Edmund Rice College student - will be shown in the Crown St Mall.This year's Italian Week theme is Italian Inventions and among other items on display will be a 50-year old pizelle (waffle) maker, a pasta-making machine and a gadget for pressing tomatoes into sauce that can be converted to make Italian sausages.No Italian celebration would be complete without food and lots of it, and visitors to the mall will be spoilt for choice of things to taste with different types of pasta, biscuits, including crostoli and the ginger and honey mustazzoli, along with traditional gelati and sorbetti. Coffee and sweets will also be on offer.The younger family members have not been forgotten with a jumping castle, cup-and-saucer ride and an animal farm where they can pet and feed the cute baby animals.While several other events have already been held, Italian Week will wrap up with an Italian Mass at St John Vianney's Church on Sunday and the showing of two films, Agatha and the Storm and Caterina Goes to the City, at the Gala Cinema and Hoyts Warrawong until next Wednesday.
