Co.As.It.

The Italian National Ball is more than an event, it's an experience✨

From the rich aroma of authentic Italian coffee by Schibello, to handcrafted cocktails featuring Citrina Limoncello and Mandarincello, refreshing Aperol Spritzes and Campari Soda, iconic Ducati motorcycles, traditional granita and cannoli, and delicious artisan gelato, every activation brought a little piece of Italy to life, taking guests on a sensory journey through the flavours, sights and spirit of Italy.

Thanks to the support of Il Mercante, Global Uniquesource, San Pellegrino and Italiquore, guests enjoyed an exceptional selection of premium Italian beverages throughout the evening, with every pour adding to the immersive Italian experience.

Together, these activations transformed the night into a celebration of Italian culture, lifestyle, craftsmanship and hospitality, creating memorable moments for guests at every turn.

We are grateful to the sponsors and partners who helped make these experiences possible:
Campari Aperol Spritz, Citrina, Ducati Club Nsw, Global Uniquesource, Il Mercante - Merchants of Fine Wine, Italiquore, Pure Gelato, Sydney, Sanpellegrino, Schibello Coffee and The Little Gelato Cart 💚🤍❤️

One of the most anticipated moments of the evening was the announcement of our major fundraising promotion winner. 🔑💎💍

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our Gold Sponsor, Anania Jewellers, one lucky guest took home a stunning bespoke jewellery set featuring an exquisite 18ct White Gold Rhodolite Garnet & Diamond Ring for her, and an elegant 9ct White Gold Garnet Cufflinks for him, valued at over $20,000.
