Review Italian
Grande successo per la serata organizzata in occasione dell'inaugurazione del nuova delegazione Australiana dell'Accademia a Brisbane che ha suscitato grande interesse ed è stata inserita nell'ambito della "Settimana Italiana" (Italian Week), evento in cui vengono trattati temi propri della gastronomia italiana. Tale Festival rappresenta un evento fortemente voluto dal Governo Italiano e, con la collaborazione del Consolato d'Italia in Brisbane, è giunto romani con crescente successo al suo quarto anno di realizzazione.
L'inserimento della cena accademica in tale contesto è stato una scelta finalizzata a dare una maggiore visibilità all'Accademia stessa. La serata è stata allietata dall'immancabile intrattenimento di alcuni apprezzatissimi e graditi ospiti giunti a Brisbane per l'occasione. Tra questi Patrizio Buanne, cantante e musicista ammirato in tutti il mondo. Sono intervenuti anche Lisa Hunt (nota anche per essere stata la vocalist di Zucchero); Natalie Gauci, vincitrice del formar televisivo "Australian Idol" nel 2007, Roberto Nobilia che ha firmato la sigla della "Settimana Italiana" e Veronica Tornabene vincitrice, insieme al marito Shadi Abraham, del programma televisivo di cucina su CAnale 7 "My kitchen rules" .
Per celebrare l'evento la delegazione ha scelto l'elegante e accogliente ristorante "Gusto da Gianni", storico e caratteristico locale. Non sono mancati discorsi di apertura tra i quali quello tenuto dal console d'Italia per il Queensland e Northern Territory, Francesco Capecchi, il quale ha parlato in nome e per conto del Presidente dell'Accademia, Giovanni Ballarini, che ha invitato un messaggio augurale.
Ha preso poi la parola l'onorevole commendatore Santo Santoro che ha intrattenuto gli ospiti con in interessante discorso. Infine il Delegato Alessandro Sorbello, promotore della delegazione, ha ufficializzato l'ingresso degli Accademici consegnando i doni invitati dal Presidente Ballarini.
Si è trattato di una serata speciale anche la cucina raffinata in grado di suggerire differenti gusti e sapori e che è riuscita a trasportare i presenti in un'accogliente atmosfera italiana.
