Sydney’s original little Italy East Sydney celebrates this weekend with food and wine festival Primo Italiano that this year will revolve around the theme of a big Italian wedding.
More than 35,000 people attended the event last year with even more expected this year to immerse themselves in Italian culture.
Stanley Street will be transformed into an Italian piazza to host the big Italian wedding, complete with bride and groom, wedding party, Italian music, a fountain and plenty of dancing.
New for Primo Italiano 2009 is Primo Bambini, a specially designed kids-only area at the end of Riley Street, with free gnocchi making classes and entertainment for children throughout the day.
Sydney culinary icon and Primo Italiano ambassador Beppi Polese, whose restaurant Beppi’s is one of the oldest in the area, is an enthusiastic supporter.
"I have seen this area grow and change in many ways, but it is wonderful that each year Primo Italiano continues to celebrate Sydney's original little Italy and Italian heritage," said Polese.
