A strong and very successful business Manlio was a leader in many areas. He was a pinnacle member of the original is Azzurri Soccer Club devoting time and energy to help make Club the strongest in the West Australian league. Manlio's Legacy and all the things he was involved in was a testament to his intelligence, commitment and honest love of his community and helping others. He had two sons and one daughter. His first son Arno went on to achieve great heights in Australian soccer have been captured Australia at some point also. Aldo his second son was a business entrepreneur operating businesses from Perth Western Australia through to global enterprises.

I'll also went on to do music having become a recording artist and the cultural music field. Manlio's only daughter, Sllvana became involved in early age in the hospitality industry and was our leader and everything she did. She was one of the founding people to work with Jack Cowan started and owned hungry Jacks franchise. Manlio was married to Ingrid Knabe,a German girl that he met arriving in Australia and became the mother of his children. I lived a wonderful life together. Ingrid asked away in more recent years.
