Travelled to Australia with brother Natale. Dario travelled Western Australia setting up businesses such as cafés in Kalgoorlie & Geraldton. He eventually settled in the Kimberley where he established Kimberley Colourstone & discovered sandstone, pink marble & various granite deposits in the area. A number of buildings in Derby & the Kimberley are made from Kimberley Colourstone, which became the inspiration for the materials used in Melbourne's Federation Square construction. A true Kimberley Pioneer.
