Molto Italiano! is Heide’s two-day community festival celebrating Italian culture and showcasing the exhibition Molto Bello: Icons of Modern Italian Design. Activating the whole of the Heide site, including the sculpture park and gardens, the Sidney Myer Education Centre and the plaza in front of the main galleries, the festival will offer something for everyone.

Molto Italiano! will have activities for people of all ages, from lawn bocce to art making, pop-up exhibition talks in Italian and English, an ‘Art Bambini’ program for the little ones with Heide’s art therapist, and an Italian-themed ‘Design Roadshow’ where visitors can bring an Italian design object from home for expert assessment.

Fabulous Italian food and drink will be on offer throughout, including pizza, pasta, gelato, spritz, and more from specialised food trucks as well as Heide Kitchen. The cool vibes of Italian bands will add atmosphere, along with traditional Italian songs from the Veneto Club choir.
