Corner Railway & Maryland Street

Angelo Valiante

by Guido van Helten

The Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery, in partnership with First Coat are proud to present this incredible artwork by Guido van Helten, completed in November 2016. The mural depicts Angelo Valiante who turned 100 in in the month of completion. Mr Valiante was one of the first Italians to settle in Stanthorpe and the work pays homage to the Italian community that have made the region what it is today.

Angelo looks out reflectively to the main street of Stanthorpe with hope in his eyes – and an optimism for the future of the region and what the next 100 years will bring.
