Italian author Giancarla Minuti Guareschi has published a collection of some short-stories written by her late husband Giuliano, in her latest book "Giuliano Guareschi: Dal Mondo Grande".


Renowned La Fiamma  journalist, Giuliano Guareschi Montagna, had to fight a long legal battle to be recognised as the legittimate son of Italian famous author Giovannino Guareschi. In order to have a DNA test, he gave up his right to his father's fortune.

In the book, Giancarla Minuti Guareschi collects some of the most interesting short-stories about Italian in Australia written by Giuliano who was reluctant to publish them while he was alive.

In this interview Giancarla brings to life Giuliano's wit and writing genius and the humble side of his introverted character.
