Angela Scarino, Associate Professor in Applied Linguistics at the University of South Australia, and Antonio Mercurio, educational consultant, share the same background: their parents came to Australia from the little town of San Giorgio La Molara (near Benevento). They have published a book dedicated to the community of Sangiorgesi which started with the arrival of eight men back in 1927 and now counts around 4,000 people, more than the current inhabitants of San Giorgio.
We Left. E Partimmo was written by interviewing around 30 Sangiorgesi living in Adelaide and is a veritable labour of love.
