Davide+T.

Ciao my name is Davide, I come from Italy the most beautiful country in the world, you know!!! I was born on 03 October 1977 in a little valley in North Italy on the boarder with Switzerland a nice place with its high mountains; where I go to snowboard with my friends!

Why did I come to Australia? I came here the first time four years ago it was also my first flight, I had never been on a plane, I was scared but it was the quickest way to get here- so I did it. I travelled all the East coast from north to south in summer time. I was just looking for shade and good pubs for beer, “oh that lovely life, free by my self”! After four months I had to go back to Italy but would not forget Australia! I thought always of it during these four long years at home and when I was watching a documentary about Australia I felt sad. Some one called me to go back unbelievable- but really!!

So my friends, nearly eight mounts ago I came to Australia for the second time, still by myself but this time, waiting for me at the airport there was a friend, Milvo, who gave me the opportunity to work here, as a stone mason. I found home in North Fremantle a nice place on the Swan river not too far from Fremantle and my friend, I have been really lucky, a nice house and clean.

What about my job? I make a particular wall with white stones: in the garden, simple walls, fire places but at the same time when there is not a lot to do we do bricking or paving. Maybe you don’t know but in Italy we build from the ground to the roof doing all as well.

The weather is pretty good, going to the beach, walking, doing sport but for the job, like last Monday, it was really hard to work, it was so hot, I day dreamed of the cascades and river near my place, in Italy,  where I usually go after a job; cold water from ice and snow on the top of mountains. I have, still, to put inside my brain that here we have the ocean, it is not the same but maybe better.

Now I’m waiting for my brothers to come here with two cousins, so I will taste air from my valley, I miss it, and enjoy the Christmas holidays together with them doing a huge trip here to the South West. Are you imaging what could happen? We four together? I’m going to tell you next time but just the necessary details…..

Ciao, see you next time!!
