Part 2 of the life story of Bruno Bagatella, born in Griffith, NSW, on 1st August 1939. His father, originally from Quero, a small village of two thousand souls in the province of Belluno, left Genoa for Australia in 1924 and in 1926 he was joined by his wife and two-year-old son Rino.


The Bagatella family lived in Griffith first, where three more children were born, then they relocated to Sydney.
