The cold and rain finally got to us and we went home. I managed to take a few photos of the Brisbane Fieritalia.
I found the cutest guy there........ Orion.
It wouldn't be an Italian festival with out canoli.
..............and these Italian pastries. Maybe you could tell me the name, as I don't know.
People came prepared. The young.....
..............and old...........
................and the very young in dinosaur raincoats
Roving entertainers entertained............
................another view
...........and in their coats of many colours
Musicians in the colours of the Italian flag played
There was a choir
Some people used technology to find their friends
I met a journalism student filming
We bought olives.........
.........to eat while we watched them setting up for the grape stomping
We sheltered from the rain and saw the costumes from the Renaissance period....
.............and beautiful in the detail
There was Italian food for big kids...........
...and little kids. (Does this remind you of a famous painting by Michelangelo?)
Swordsmen in smart outfits performed
....................finally we ate gelato and went home
..............and one more of Orion in his costume
If you object to your photo on this page please let me know and I will remove it.
