History
Villaggio Sant’ Antonio was a project initially envisaged by a small group of members of the Italian community of Canberra. The aim of the project was to establish a retirement village for aged members of their community. It was built and completed with the donations and efforts of the Italian community and other benefactors from Canberra, Goulburn, Queanbeyan, Cooma, Batlow and the Federal Government. The facility opened in 1992 and has since grown to accommodate residents of many diverse cultures and social backgrounds, making Villaggio Sant’ Antonio a truly multi-cultural community.
