IL GLOBO
IL GLOBO : The first edition of the Italian Australia newspaper ‘Il Globo’ went to print on the 4th of November, 1959, with just a few broadsheet pages. Established in Melbourne by Tarcisio Valmorbida and Ubaldo Larobina, Il Globo has since become one of the most significant institutions of the Italian Community in Australia. ‘Il Globo’ reports not only issues and news regarding Italy and Australia but also on the specific issues that relate to the local Italian Australian community in WA, SA NT & VIC.
Not only was Il Globo meeting the information needs of Australia’s Italians, but well before welfare groups and cultural associations were established, they it was a point of reference for the newly arrived Italian immigrants.
Today published daily, five days per week, Il Globo meets the information needs of the Italian community by providing a variety of news including Australian, Italian, and world news, sport, health and women’s issues, leisure, community and entertainment news, magazine section, and TV and radio supplements.
Each Wednesday’s edition of Il Globo includes a supplement in English.
It remains a strong and authoritative presence in Australian media, and continues its tradition of giving voice to concerns of the Italian community since its establishment in 1959.
