FESTIVAL ITALIANO AUCKLAND COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT

 COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT

To ensure that we adhere to current Ministry of Health guidelines and the New Zealand Events Sector Voluntary Code, Festival Italiano has introduced some new measures for 2020 to keep the public, stall holders, staff and volunteers safe at this year’s event. We ask that all participants (including stall holders and workers):
1. Not attend the Event if you, or an immediate family or household member, are feeling unwell or sick, have confirmed COVID-19 or COVID-19 symptoms, or have been instructed by the relevant authority to self-isolate.
2. Maintain good hygiene practices at all times, including: regular hand washing and sanitisation while at the Festival (foot pedal sanitisers are provided in the area for the public), especially after using the bathroom and before and after handling food; and remember to cover your mouth and nose if you need to cough or sneeze.
3. Download the NZ Covid Tracer App. QR codes will be posted around the streets of the Festival for you to sign in, and hard copy sign-in sheets will be available to all at the Dante Society tent (in the centre of Kent St).
4. Comply with any public health and/or safety directions of event staff, police or health authorities.
5. Be aware of your surroundings and remember to maintain physical distancing wherever possible in the Festival precinct and when queueing for food stalls. The communal seating area has been removed this year to comply with social distancing standards, and the layout of the event has been changed, but nevertheless there may be a crowd, especially at lunch time. We also advise you not to attend with dogs this year. If this is not possible please remember to keep dogs on a leash at all times.
6. There will be free water at the Festival, but we encourage you to bring your own bottle as well.
7. Festival Italiano is working towards Zero Waste so there will be waste educators at each bin station to help the public with recycling and waste disposal. Please help them, and our volunteers, by following their instructions to keep the event clean and safe, and minimise contact.
Grazie

Dante Auckland AGM 2020, President's Report

Dante Auckland Committee, from left: Stefania Perrotta, Sir John Kirwan, Matteo Telara, Flavia Berucci, Fiorella Tomasi Lady Kirwan, Cav. Sandra Fresia, Cav. Alessandra Zecchini, Jackie Shearman, Valeria Santillo. Missing: Luca Manghi and Kelly McKinnon)

Cari amici e soci Dante Auckland,

Welcome to our 2020 AGM. It is a joy to see you all here today.

As always, I would like to start my President's report by acknowledging my colleagues from the Dante committee, who are truly dedicated to our Society and run it with passion and love. Secondly, I would like to thank all our members who support us every year, attend our events (and often volunteer with enthusiasm and great energy), and generally help us spread Italian culture and lifestyle in New Zealand. Thank you also to all our language students for having chosen our school to learn Italian.

2019 was another busy year for the Dante, rich with events like the wonderful musical Aggiungi un Posto a Tavola, directed by Matteo Telara and Luca Manghi, which featured professional singers as well as our own Dante students. The Dante in Rome generously contributed toward the cost of this production. 

We also had another successful Italian Festival Season full of events and celebrations of everything Italian, which ended with a truly epic Festival Italiano, the biggest and best to date. Thank you again to our three major sponsors who made the Festival possible: the Waitematā Local Board, Peroni, and Newmarket Business Association, and supporting sponsors Ghella, the Italian Tourist Board of Australia and New Zealand, Aperol NZ, and the Italian Embassy. To be acknowledged also are the dozens of other sponsors, big and small, old and new, and the many volunteers and staff who worked with Festival Director Alessandra Zecchini. 

We finished the year with our yearly Mercatino di Natale, which is now a well-established event, and started 2020 with another successful Intensive language course, led by Sandra Fresia. 

Other events during the year included book presentations, our monthly colazione, free concerts, lectures and movie screenings run in collaboration with other organisations, including the Italian Embassy and the University of Auckland. All of these activities are advertised, and reviewed afterward, in our monthly newsletter, curated by Stefania Perrotta, and through our social media accounts, which are steadily growing in followers and popularity.
  
Due to work and travel commitments last year I couldn't participate in many of these events, so I would like to thank my Vice President, Flavia Berucci, for stepping in to fill my shoes when needed. I hear that she has now become very good at public speeches!

To sum it up 2019 has been a good year for activities and, as our treasurer Valeria Santillo will confirm shortly in the Treasurer’s Report, also financially: we had an increase in our membership numbers and we were able to offer more language classes.

With this thought the committee has decided not to increase the membership fees for yet another year, so that everyone can easily afford to belong to the Dante Society and enjoy a taste of Italy here in New Zealand. 

I would like to conclude my report with a thought for those who are suffering because of the Coronavirus. Although at present we are safe in New Zealand with only one case reported so far, many of us are worried about family and friends, may not be able to travel as planned, and may also be starting to feel the ripples of the economic effects from the lockdowns in Italy. We hope for the outbreak, back at home and elsewhere in the world, to be contained as soon as possible, and for those who are sick to get better soon.

Festival Italiano - meet the team!


Festival Italiano is the largest event organised by Società Dante Alighieri Auckland, which is an Italian language school, a society and a registered charity in NZ.

The Dante Auckland is also an important hub for the local Italian community, and all our events are open to Kiwis of all ethnic backgrounds, to connect with us and each other in a friendly environment, and also to learn about Italian culture, language and lifestyle.

At the Dante we organise Festival Italiano every year to offer the city of Auckland a little taste of Italy, and as the event grows every year so grow the number of people involved.

Click here to find out a few interesting facts about the Festival management team, and come to the event to meet the 100 or so other volunteers, Italian and New Zealanders, who make this event happen.

And remember, this is a free community event, so every visitor can also help out our volunteers and staff with a smile and a grazie, and by having a good time!

Autocertificazione dello status di immigrato ai fini dell'assistenza sanitaria urgente in Italia prevista dal Decreto del Ministro della Salute dell'1 febbraio 1996.

Il decreto del Ministro della Salute dell'1 febbraio 1996 in materia di cure ospedaliere urgenti prestate dal Servizio sanitario nazionale prevede, all'art. 2, comma 2, che "ai cittadini italiani residenti all'estero, titolari di pensione corrisposta da enti previdenziali italiani o aventi lo status di emigrato certificato dall'Ufficio consolare italiano competente per territorio, le prestazioni ospedaliere urgenti sono erogate, a titolo gratuito e per un periodo massimo di novanta giorni nell'anno solare, qualora gli stessi non abbiano una copertura assicurativa, pubblica o privata, per le suddette prestazioni sanitarie".
Alla luce della vigente disciplina in tema di autocertificazioni, la condizione di emigrato di cui all'art. 2, comma 2 del citato decreto, presupposto per la fruizione delle prestazioni sanitarie ivi previste, non deve piu' essere attestata dall'Autorita' consolare poiche' piu' semplicemente autocertificabile mediante dichiarazione sostitutiva presso le ASL di competenza.
La condizione di emigrato dovra’ essere attestata mediante dichiarazione sostitutiva di certificazione da presentare alla competente ASL, con la quale il cittadino autocertifica:
A - di essere nato in Italia, di possedere la cittadinanza italiana, nonche' di risiedere all'estero, indicando il Comune di iscrizione AIRE.
oppure
B - di essere nato all'estero, di possedere la cittadinanza italiana, di aver risieduto in Italia, indicando il Comune di iscrizione all'Anagrafe della popolazione residente (ANPR), di risiedere attualmente all'estero ed essere quindi iscritto all'Anagrafe degli italiani residenti all'estero (AIRE).

Il possesso dei requisiti di legge NON DEVE PIU’ ESSERE ATTESTATO DALL’AUTORITA’ CONSOLARE, perche’ AUTOCERTIFICABILE dal cittadino.
Il cittadino residente all’estero, che si reca temporaneamente in Italia, NON DEVE pertanto PIU’richiedere all’Ufficio consolare l’attestazione sanitaria per ottenere le prestazioni ospedaliere urgenti a titolo gratuito.
Tale procedura (peraltro in linea con la disciplina vigente in materia di documentazione amministrativa) e’ stata concordata con il Ministero della Salute, nel primario interesse del cittadino, cui viene evitata dunque un’inutile incombenza.


Per agevolare il connazionale nella compilazione dell’autocertificazione, e’ stato predisposto da questa Ambasciata un facsimile bilingue (www.ambwellington.esteri.it. Modulistica-Certificati) che l’interessato consegnera’ personalmente (compilato e firmato) alla competente ASL in Italia, in caso di rientro temporaneo.

Italiani a Melbourne

A gennaio ho visitato la sede del CO.AS.IT. e Museo Italiano Melbourne (convenientemente situati non lontano dal famoso Caffè Brunetti - famoso per la sua pasticceria italiana).



Dopo tanti anni di collaborazione e amicizia virtuale finalmente ho incontrato il collega giornalista, Germano Spagnolo. Germano ha lavorato per Il Globo, il quotidiano italiano di Melbourne ed ora, in pensione, scrive per Il Messaggero di Sant'Antonio, edizione per gli italiani all'estero, e rimane un socio molto attivo della Società Dante Alighieri di Melbourne.

Germano ci ha gentilmente accompagnato alla sede CO.AS.IT dove abbiamo incontrato Ferdinando Colarossi, manager del Centro Risorse per l'insegnamento della lingua italiana nello stato di Victoria. 
Abbiamo poi visitato il Museo Italiano e sede della Italian Historical Society con il Dr Paolo Baracchi. 

Ringrazio tutti per la gentile ospitalità, e per l'opportunità di aver potuto condividere storie 
ed esperienze sull'immigrazione italiana agli antipodi, a sulle realtà che affronteranno le future generazioni di italiani nati all'estero.
