| The polychromatic figure, in the form of a tear drop, is symbolic
of the multiethnic and multicultural Australian Society. The Italian
Community, entwined in this tapestry, is represented by the surreal and
intense magenta coloured figure that with pride in its origins, strong
determination and dignity creates its own social standing.
The Italian community, bound to its regions, is projected towards the bell
tower as if holding onto a distant yet omnipresent memory of the traditions,
costumes and cultures of the country it left behind.
The experience of Italian immigration to Australian land matures under an
extraordinary sky, rich in stars and hopes, which are often the only travel
companions through nights of solitude. The only master of our destiny always
remains God, represented here by the golden figure.
