Part 2 of the life story of Rolando D'Arcangeli, who arrived in Australia in 1956. Rolando had joined his brother Benito in Australia, who migrated in 1952 because - he says - "after the war in Italy there was poverty ".


D'Arcangeli, who married by proxy and was joined by his wife Fosca only in 1957, worked in Italy as a plumber and in Sydney (where he also helped found an association for his fellow villagers of Carpineto Romano) opened a small company and was the first to install a bidet in Australia.
