| What is significant? The Fogolar Furlan Club at 1 Matisi Street, Thornbury was established on its current site in 1957 by a small group of migrants from the Friuli Region, in the north east of Italy. The current club building is a relatively recent construction. The Furlan Club is one of over 160 Fogolars worldwide, although membership is not now exclusive to people from Friuli. It is one of Melbourne's earlier Italian clubs, one of only three to own its own premises before the 1970s. The club is used for traditional cultural and recreational activities, providing a focal point and meeting place for the community, and as a place where the history and traditions of Friuli and links between Italy and Australia are maintained. The use of the place by the Italian community as a community focal point and gathering place is significant. The physical fabric of the Fogolar Furlan Social Club has not been identified in this study as significant. Further study may identify significance for the Italian community, for aesthetic or social reasons. How is it significant?

(AHC Criterion D.2) Socially, the Fogolar Furlan Social Club is significant for reasons of cultural associations, as a place where the history and traditions of Friuli and links with Italy are presented and maintained for present and future generations, through the umbrella organisation Ente Friuli nel Mondo. (AHC Criterion G.1) The Fogolar Furlan Social Club also has potential social significance as a place highly esteemed by the Italian community for reaso |
