Italian Film Festival Issue

The boys from Welcome to the North – the Italian Film Festival opening night special.

It’s every cinema fan’s favourite time of year this month – this Italian Film Festival is in town and Ciao is on the bandwagon. Resident reviewer Russell Edwards rated the movies so you know which ones to look out for, while some crazy vespa-riding dudes from festival opener ‘Welcome to the North’ graced our cover (see above). If you head over to the fest, be sure to let us know what you thought of the films – info@ciaomagazine.com.au

Inside this issue we have recipes galore from gingerbread queen, Frances Vumbaca, plus columnists Jared Ingersoll and Melissa Leong, who offered up a chessey one! Meanwhile, we summed up election results (and have already recieved our first complaint call – though we are getting used to them now), rated some fabulous cocktails from the Fringe Festival’s Toast of Newtown comp AND ranted about the antisocial-ness of social media. If you think this all sounds fab, visit http://www.ciaomagazine.com.au to find out more.
BTW: Don’t forget that formal season is coming up – if you need outfit ideas, head to our formal fashion shoot this week for some inspiration. The model looked gorgeous and all clothing was supplied from Leichhardt’s one-stop shop – Marketplace Leichhardt!

We love to hear your feedback so tell us what you loved or didn’t love about this issue so we can keep improving!

Ciao xx
