Italian radio for Adelaide

Adelaide has a large and long-established Italian community, built by migrants who arrived after the Second World War and helped shape the city, from its markets and restaurants to its building industry. Radio Italiana gives that community programmes in its own language: news from Italy and Australia, talk, interviews and community information.

Music

Music fills much of the day: Italian pop, the great canzoni of past decades, opera favourites and regional music, along with requests and dedications from listeners. Programmes often mix music with conversation and listener calls in the warm style of Italian radio, and some include regional dialects from the parts of Italy that many Adelaide families came from, such as Calabria, Sicily, Campania and the Veneto.

Community and culture

The station follows the life of Italian South Australians, from feast days and festivals to sport — especially calcio — food, and the Italian clubs and associations around Adelaide.

For every generation

Radio Italiana is a link with the language and culture of Italy for older listeners, and a way for their children and grandchildren to keep in touch with their heritage.
