My family migrated here in 1965 from Anzano, a commune in the province of Foggia, southern Italy. All the family came at the same time, from both my mother’s and father’s side. My father was about 13 years of age when he arrived, and he started working in the meat industry straight after arriving, alongside several other migrants. He worked there until the age of 18, until my grandfather Vitangelo said he wanted to start a business of his own, so in 1978 they opened the butcher shop in Norlane, Geelong. They sold European imported products like tomatoes, olives, fetta cheese, and pasta, which were very sought-after goods in the area, as there were many European immigrants in that region back then.
