The exhibition of Massimo Sestini’s photographs in South Australia is organized by the Italian Consulate in Adelaide within the framework of the “Vivere all’italiana” (Italian lifestyle) program financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. The initiative is realised thanks to the cooperation of the Italian Police, under the patronage of the Italian Ministry of Interior.
