Praise for An Italian Connection: 21 notable (Italian) Australians and their contributions (Burgundy Press):

A country like ours has evolved with influence from many other nations. Italian Australians have certainly left their mark on Australia. I am humbled to be included in this great record. Amongst these names are some of our greatest people, who have helped to craft the magnificent landscape in which we work and play. I will be sharing this work with my children, as I am sure they will do with theirs one day. After all, the way culture endures, is by passing on the stories. GUY GROSSI Celebrity chef and author

Having lived in Italy and become an ardent fan of its food and culture, it was a pleasure for me to read this book; a wonderful tribute to some of Australia’s outstanding Italian Australians who have made such a huge contribution to this country. It’s well written and very engaging…a book that will take pride of place on my bookshelf. KATE ST JAMES, FDIA Editor-in-chief, Universal Magazines

An important book which highlights the many contributions Italian migrants have made to Australia – besides introducing pizza, pasta and polenta… DR IVO VELLAR, OAM Surgeon and medical historian
