An interesting insight into how things were for them back then. My grandfather was an Italian immigrant living in Carlton too... Although by 1962 he had found a beautiful Australian wife and moved to the suburbs :)
I don't know you but I'd like to add my thanks too. It's wonderful footage and brings back very fond memories of my many Italian friedns and especially my next door neighbours in Shamrock Street, West Brunswick, where I resided for about thirty years from 1954. The Italians have a significant history in Australia and this footage is part of it.
Italians contributed so much to the culture and vibrancy of Melbourne and help make the city what it is now!
