Just a short walk from where smiling Sisto Malaspina spent decades feeding hungry Melburnians, the 74-year-old terror victim will be farewelled during a state funeral.
A service for the co-owner of Pellegrini's Espresso Bar will be held at East Melbourne's St Patrick's Cathedral on Tuesday.
Mr Malaspina was killed and two other men were injured on November 9 when 30-year-old Hassan Khalif Shire Ali drove a burning ute into the city and launched a knife attack.
Police shot Shire Ali who later died in hospital.
Watch the service live on SBS News' Facebook page at 10.30am (AEST).
