Opera, Italian cars and great food are just some of what you'll see and experience at the seventh annual La Piazza Italiana in Austin.

There will be plenty of food on hand as well, including gelato, pizza, espresso and wine.

"We don't want to run out of wine, vino and dance. We have a Mediterranean belly dancer and a DJ live this year," event organizer Elsa Gramola said.

Along with all the music there will be an olive oil tasting. The event will also feature art and crafts and jewelry vendors.

La Piazza Italiana is this Sunday from 4 to 9 p.m. at Laguna Gloria.
