My Office at The Commonwealth Ctr

This photo was taken in the early 80s at the then Commonwealth Centre, Corner Spring and La Trobe Streets, Melbourne.  We were in the office situated on the second floor in the Link between the old and new blocks of the building.  The whole building was pulled down because at the time of construction the builders used asbestos material  and it was classified as dangerous to people's health.

Day of Celebration and Devotion at Bulla

A healthy number of people attended the San Rocco celebration at the Calabria Club, Bulla on 20 October  2013, there were some 550 people who attended the Mass and also the Procession.  It was a great day of tradition for especially the people from Acquaro where San Rocco was the town's Patron Saint. 

San Rocco Festival

This is a photo of the San Rocco Statue during the Procession on the outside of the Calabria Club Buildings at Bulla.  Behind the statue their was the band playing traditional tunes, the followed the people who came to spend the day at the Festival.  It was a very nice day except fot the wind.  There were about 550 people who attended and they seemed to have enjoyed the occasion.  








Dinner Dance

In the photo from left :  Joe Comito, Matteo Cosentini and Peter Carnovale.

We were at the bar having a drink before dinner started.  We had a round each of whiskey and then we went to sit down to dinner.  Because we had three whiskeys each, I made sure that I did not drink any more during the evening, I had to drive back home at the end of the night. 
It was a wonderful night.  Dinner was fantastic, it was prepared on the premises by the ladies of the sub committee.  The music was very good with Joe Brancatella and Matteo.  I danced all night with my wife and really enjoyed the whole evening.

Belle Donne Paesane

Here are two beautiful young women who live in Europe and in Italy.  They were both born in Acquaro, Province of Vibo Valentia in Calabria.  I am proud to be associated with them.
