Episode 117: The resilience of Italian Australian immigrants featuring Laura Di Martino

We have another guest from Adelaide this week, we had a delightful time chatting with Laura Di Martino.

Laura was Born in Belgium to Italian parents and immigrated to Australia as a child. She is a retired languages and history teacher and is proud and passionate about her Italian heritage. Laura is actively involved in the Italian community and has a wealth of knowledge and we learned so much during this fascinating conversation, in particular about the history of the glory box in Italy and the experiences of immigrants who were intervened in Australia during World War Two.

Her passion for her heritage inspired her to write 2 novels Cremona house and Working it Out, with her 3rd book coming out in 2026. Her books are available via her website and on Amazon, click the links in the show notes for more details.
