A Living Heritage

This site explores the intriguing story of the New Italy settlement in Northern NSW Australia, delving into the past and connecting the present.

The site aims to highlight the valuable contributions of the Italian settlers to the region, offering the opportunity for interested users, descendants and researchers to upload their own stories, making New Italy truly a ‘Living Heritage’.

Features of the site also include a Guest Book, a Resource/Research centre for materials such as photos, maps and other research relating to New Italy.

The New Italy settlement was built upon dreams, dreams broken and dreams made. It is the story of a group of Italian immigrants who battled great odds, leaving an imprint of success and prosperity, helping to shape the Northern Rivers as it is today.

The New Italy Museum was developed as a tribute to the courage and strength of those pioneering families with the purpose to pass on to future generations their spiritual legacy.
