Lygon Street - Si parla Italiano

"Food, wine, coffee...and a little bit of gambling"

The true story of an iconic street, as told by the men and women who made it. Narrated by Anthony LaPaglia. After the disaster of World War II, a wave of Italian immigrants found their way to Melbourne - a strange place, suspicious of outsiders and completely devoid of a good cup of espresso. Congregating in a then run-down stretch of Carlton known as Lygon Street, these irrepressible restaurateurs, entrepreneurs and sometime mafiosi would come to define not only a street, but an entire country. 'Lygon Street - Si parla Italiano' brings to life the people, places and, of course, pastas that have made up one of Australia's most remarkable communities.
