Finally Italy is starting to open the door to the varied and intricate relations between Italy and Australia.
A considerable advantage reserved for the members of the Italia-Australia Association is the possibility to come into contact with the real Australia which wants to exchange business, culture and experiences with Italy.
SUBIACO WESTERN AUSTRALIA
We place a special importance on ‘sisterhood between cities’, in particular to that between the ancient city of Subiaco in Lazio and the very modern Subiaco of Western Australia, both at the gates of two great cities, one at the gates of Rome and the other of Perth.

Cultural
exchanges aimed at the development of entrepreneurial initiatives.
Puglia
and Australia share
interests based on agriculture. The prospect of exchanges of experiences
to identify areas of mutual interest are the motives that lead
Meridien Migration Australia to establish the most important contact in
the region, the Technical Institute of Agraria, through which
interested Australians will be able to set up contacts with agricultural
entrepreneurs in Puglia.
At the Professional
Agrarian Institute, G.Presta of Lecce, the plan to render the
Institute the gateway for Australians to access the economic possibilities
in
the region was laid out by Professors Luigi
Paladini and Vittoria Italiano in the photo(left) together with

27 maggio 2004
The Director of the Immigration Sector of the Campania Region, Massimo Angrisano, met the delegation of Meridien Migration Australia.
The Working Holiday Visa program between Australia and Italy was the central topic of the meeting with the Immigration Sector of the Campania Region
It is the most suitable scheme to facilitate the entrance into businesses in the Campania Region so that they can benefit from the presence of qualified Australians holding work permits, to be employed temporarily and thereby establish real contacts for future developments in Australia to enhance their commercial and industrial expansion.
A suggestion by the Australian delegates was to create, with the support of the Region, a specialized consultation to provide assistance to Australians on Working Holiday Visas into the economic, social, cultural and industrial areas of Campania. Meridien Migration Australia also voiced its willingness to help the young people of the Campania Region on Working Holidays and Student Visas, to make their stay useful and fruitful.
