Giulia Bonacina, together with her husband Efrem, was one of the most important figures of the Italian community in Australia and in particular in Wollongong, where she lived from 1961 until her death. She was born in Treviso in 1920 and left us in January 2013 - exactly seven years ago.


We want to remember her with an episode of our series "A life, a story - The adventure of Italians in Australia" recorded immediately after her 91st birthday. Giulia tells of her adventurous life spent between Italy, Argentina and Australia and of her commitment to the Illawarra community.
