An Italian honour By Dominique Tassell Two Stanthorpe locals were awarded the “Ordine Della Stella D’Italia”, or Order of the Star of Italy, by the Italian Government last week. Southern Down Mayor Vic Pennisi and Franco Arcidiacono received their awards at an

event in Brisbane and were then re-presented with them at a dinner at the International Club on Saturday. Franco said the award is usually given to coincide with Italy’s Republic Day, celebrated on 2 June. Franco has been heavily involved in

the community for many years, leaving a lasting mark. His book, Echoes of Italian Voices, written with his wife, gave a voice to the Italian community in the region by sharing their stories. “The book filled the void of existing voices

in Stanthorpe,” Franco said. He took a year of work to research the community and spoke to 150 families in Stanthorpe for the book, convincing 132 of them to tell their stories. Read more on page 3
