Last week I showed you a banner for Regal Heights found on St Clair Ave and this week I am showing one for the Corso Italia which is also found on St Clair and is the second Italian neighbourhood in Toronto after Little Italy on College St. The area is famous for its many cafes, bakeries, clothing shops (especially bridal shops) and its gelaterias.
Taking part in Signs, Signs. Click HERE to see more signs from around the world.

Awesome culturally rich Toronto!
Interesting, Pat :)
We have also here in Bolzano a street named Corso Italia.
Is the gelato good in this area? You reminded me of the time I spent working in St. Louis. They had a huge Italian neighborhood with loads of restaurants and bakeries.
Really interesting, warm greetings!
I would visit for the gelato & bakeries!
Publicidad italiana. Me gusta su comida y los helados.
Buen miƩrcoles Pat
Yummmm, gelato! Beautiful blue sky, we haven't seen the sun here for weeks!
I would start with the restaurants! Do like Italian food! Another photo that gives praise to the wonderful city of Toronto!
Fine looking banner. Looks like a close knit community.
looks nice
Nice to know Italian culture has a place in Toronto. Interesting about the many bridal shops.
Banners highlight the neighborhoods and the look very nice. Bakeries sound good and of course, Italian food, my favorite.
That building to the left catches my eye.
Interesting. I looked this up about D.C.: :Those early Italian immigrants to DC never really established a true Little Italy of their own. Instead, they mostly settled in two residential neighborhoods that vanished long ago — Swampoodle, near the U.S. Capitol and Union Station, and the Judiciary Square area."
That is St Clare's Roman Catholic Church on the left!
Cafes, bakeries and gelaterias all sound wonderful to me!
Toronto is such a diverse city of people.
What a lot of banners and signs on all of the poles in this street
How fabulous Pat. Each time I visit I see so many similarities in your city and mine. I think I would enjoy catching up with you there very much!
I always enjoy seeing bits of your city! It's always interesting to me!
I love it when City neighborhoods show their pride ... and it is helpful for visitors finding their way around and picking up a little history. Nice post, but now I wish a had a cup of gelato.
Yum, gelato!!
Oooohhhhh, I would like that. It sounds like Franklin Avenue in Hartford.
