Read their story

Joined husband Ercole Leone who left Italy in March 1952 just a few weeks after their marriage. They were first of their family to emigrate, later assisting extended family to migrate to Australia. Parents of two sons, grandparents of four. Typical poor hardworking migrants who succeeded in Australia.
