1 5 y separately published work icon La Fiamma 1947 Leichhardt : La Fiamma , 1947- Z1367345 1947 newspaper (5 issues) La Fiamma is a daily Italian language newspaper. It began in Sydney in 1947. 'Being the only source of news for an entire generation of Italo-Australians for many years, La Fiamma, today remains at the heart of the Italian community in NSW, ACT and QUEENSLAND.' (From the newspaper's webpage)

The creation of La Fiamma has been attributed to the Cappuccini friars of Sydney who edited and published the newspaper. Francesco Ricatti has argued, however, that Guiseppe La Rosa, an Italian priest, suggested the idea and the characteristics of the paper, which was designed in reaction to the socialist newspaper Il Risveglio [see Embodying Migrants, p. 34, n. 18]
