We were joined by representatives of the Waitematā Local Board and Newmarket Business Association, our major commercial sponsor Peroni NZ, and several other sponsors and stakeholders, such as Campari NZ, Ghella, Ecoware, Edit. etc. The Italian Ambassador H.E. Fabrizio Marcelli joined us and made a short speech, together with Festival Director Alessandra Zecchini.
