As my Influencer career did not take off so far, I am now getting my diva Ridelle in the game. She’s clearly not ready yet. 😆😆😆😆😆 #catfluencer

SchMERZen when I heard our chancellor was complaining about being the most hated president on the internet in Germany’s history. Thought it was time to step up and show some support. ********************************************** This video was originally recorded for other purposes. This is NOT a comparison between Germany and Australia. I do recognise that Australia has its own genocidal history, as much as I do recognise that what is and has been happening in Germany, during the last 3 years especially, IS very alarming. #merzaesthetics #worldwatercolorgroup

Quick dance to celebrate the fact the we DID find my mum’s birth certificate!!! Which means I might soon be legally qualified to say I am a tropical Island gyal. Like whatttttttt #australia #citizensoftheworld #italiandiaspora

Our first stop is Cairns. A relatively young city, that sits on Yidinji land. It only took shape little before 1900. Born from gold fever, when the first settlers pushed inland chasing fortune, the city grew as their gateway. A threshold between the coast and everything that lay beyond it. Standing here, you can still feel that restlessness. A place built for movement, for passing through. And people did arrive, from everywhere. Today Cairns is Queensland’s third largest city. A popular destination for tourists and backpackers chasing visa renewals. Coming in the low season, I guess we will only get to know the unhurried, local, and chilled version of this city. Populations living here are mostly descendants of immigrant communities from Asia and Europe. But there is a strong Aboriginal community too. We are here because we believe our family spent some time here before heading west. We are not sure. But we know we may find proof of their passage here. Church records, administrative traces. That eventually will lead us to my mum’s birth certificate. We had heard that Italian families put down quiet but significant roots here. We have not found them yet. Either way, we are enjoying our time here. Free BBQs along the esplanade. A public swimming pool open to everyone. Water fountains along the waterfront promenade. A public library with functioning air conditioning, plenty of PCs, and comfy couches. Looks like a city that takes care of its people, which makes it a solid 10/10. Let’s see what we can find. #australia #queensland

Our route to Australia .. 70 years later! My grandfather left a small town in the Veneto in 1951 and got on a boat to Australia. 6 weeks through Genova, the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, into Melbourne, then north to Queensland. We just landed in Cairns. WE ARE HERE! 96 hours. Milano to Istanbul to Bali to this. Half the world’s air routes disrupted, but we made it. The air is thick and warm and smells like nothing I’ve ever smelled before. Mum hasn’t said a word since we landed. She’s just looking. We don’t know what we’re going to find. We don’t know if the towns still look the way he described them. We don’t know if anyone who knew our family is still there. We don’t even know for certain we’ll find her birth certificate. But, hey, we are standing on Queensland soil! #italiandiaspora #australia #postwarimmigration #sugarcane

“Fantastic time to fly to the other side of the world to look for our family history” In 1951, my grandfather left Italy with a one-way ticket and a long boat journey to Australia. Two years later, my grandmother followed him. My mum was born in Queensland. She left when she was two… and she’s never been back. Neither of us have ever really been to this part of the world before. So we have decided it’s time to go back to the place she was born. To find her birth certificate. To walk the cane fields my nonni talked about for 40 years. To find the people who are still there. So yeah I guess this is us… flying 17,000 km to search for a document that might not even exist anymore, in a continent neither of us has ever (really) been to. Doing my best to document everything. Come with us on this journey.

2026 we are still watching few people profiting from death and suffering while the rest has to live with the consequences. We’re going back to Australia to trace our family history. The story of the hundreds of thousands of Italians who left for Australia after the war. The story of the millions of people who have been forced to leave home looking for something better elsewhere. And the story of the generations after. The ones who only know what home used to be through other people’s memories. Who grew up hearing the stories but never got to see the place. I’ll be doing my best to document everything. Join us through this journey. 🌿
