Dr Teresa Capetola gives a talk titled, 'Il Baule: Carrying Stories of Distance Among Post War Second Generation Italian Australian Middle-Aged Women'. After World War II, over 300,000 Italians settled in Australia. Today over one million Australians claim Italian heritage. As first generation migrants age and pass away, and as the second generation enters middle age, questions arise. What are the legacies of migration and settlement? What distances and proximities do Italian migrant heritages create for their daughters in settler-colonial Australia?
