I understood he felt he was nearing his time, when he asked me to help him collect his memories and write a biography of his life. Cav Felice Zadro, eldest of five, was born in Italy in 1913 and lived his youth while WW1 raged. With no prospects of making a living after returning from the trenches in northern Italy, Felice's father Guiseppe, made his way across the world to start a new life in Australia. Felice followed at the age of 15, and set to create a life filled with community, volunteering, family, faith, and service. He used his migrant life, marked by hardship, racism, and exclusion to fuel his fire; determined to prove his worth, help shape and support Western Sydney, and carve out a legacy for multicultural Australia. This is his story, told through a conversation over many months, he shared with his 11th grandchild, Felicity Zadro. Together they talk about leaving Italy, making a home, building community, raising families, his faith and politics.This fly-on-the-wall account of Felice's life, memories, beliefs and life lessons, told in his words, will captivate you with the story of the life of an inspired man.
