FROM bocce to bocconcini, all things Italian will be celebrated in the northern NSW town of Lismore in June.

The Lismore Friendship Festival’s Piazza in the Park is an annual nod to the contribution Italian settlers have made to the region’s cultural heritage, with festivities taking place at Spinks Park on June 23.

For the first time an Italian Film Festival will run on the weekend of June 15-16 screening Loro on the Saturday night.

The film is Oscar-winning director Paolo Sorrentino’s fictionalised account of Silvio Berlusconi’s life from 2006-2010.

Three Italian comedies will be screened the next day.
