When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's Primo Italiano

Last Sunday, City of Sydney Council held the Primo Italiano festival, celebrating all things Italy. The theme was of course, amore. A wedding was held on the day, and although I wasn't there to see the ceremony, the entire thing was great fun, with stalls of food, entertainment and a beautiful fountain. The convivial community atmosphere was really wonderful - with heaps of dogs and kids running about.

The terrace houses lining Stanley, Riley and Yurong Streets were a perfectly picturesque background for the festival, with the streets cordoned off for the day. There was a huge stall by Formaggi Ocello, the Italian purveyors of cheese located in Surry Hills, as well as Beppi's Restaurant and Sonoma Baking Company.

And who can forget the iconic Vespa when thinking about Italian cliches? Sable and Argent, a stylish 'premium store for two-wheeled things' were displaying some fantasico goods with truly fantastic price tags.


This bicycle costs $27800. Let's hope it can fly. Or at least change into a robot.

All in all, a lovely, relaxing Sunday. Thank God for the beautiful weather, and please, when will the sunshine grace our city again?
