History of New Italy, New South Wales, Heritage settlement from 1882 in Richmond Valley, New South Wales, Australia.
The Italian settlement covers 1,200 acres of land where settlers constructed homes using local materials and established agricultural activities throughout the region.
In 1881, a group of 217 Italian immigrants arrived in Sydney after a failed colonization attempt in New Ireland, leading to the establishment of New Italy.
The settlement maintained Italian traditions through agricultural practices, including grape cultivation, vegetable growing, and silk production from local mulberry trees.
The New Italy Museum and Park of Peace display artifacts, photographs, and documents that illustrate the settlement's development from the 19th century.
The settlement earned recognition on the New South Wales State Heritage Register for its representation of Italian migration and agricultural development.
