The president of the Piemonteis Association of Queensland Anna De Pasquale tells us about the milestones that led to this important birthday.
The history of the Piedmontese in Australia dates back to the mid-19th century when many men, and later their families, left Piedmont to work on infrastructure construction or sugar cane plantations in Queensland.
Highlights
- The Piedmontese Association of Queensland turns 25

More recent is the history of the Piedmontese Association of Queensland, which this year celebrates 25 years since its foundation. The current president, Anna De Pasquale, has just finalised a photographic collection that tells the history of this great family of Piedmontese. This book will be launched in November, when hopefully the members will be able to meet and celebrate the anniversary.
Anna De Pasquale tells what this achievement means for all Piedmontese residents in Queensland.
