Left back in Italy in 1928 like many wives at that time. Husband left to seek better life to return to Italy, but having settled, realized better opportunities existed in Australia, so called for his beloved Luigia to come to Australia in 1933. Settled in Wanneroo, market gardening. Together they had 6 children. Her husband Ernesto sponsored many migrants.
