Bella Wardrop, S 1996, By proxy: a study of Italian proxy brides in Australia, Italian Historical Society - COASIT, Melbourne, Carlton. Paperback, photographs, 84 pages [English text]. Available from the IHS A$11.00 plus postage.
Proxy marriages were common among the Italian-born living in Australia from the 1920s to the late 1960s. During this period, the majority of Italian migrants were young, single men. While some married women of Irish or German heritage, most men preferred to marry someone from their own village or region. For single women in Italy, proxy marriage often represented an opportunity to escape poverty, repression and boredom. This book features interviews with proxy brides and grooms who talk about their reasons for choosing marriage by proxy, how their relationships grew through several years of correspondence, and the experience of travelling to a new land and building a life together. Not all the stories have positive outcomes and the interviewees speak candidly about the challenges they faced. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
Church, J 2005, Per l'Australia: the story of Italian migration, Miegunyah Press, MUP, Victoria. Hardback, maps and photographs, 248 pages [English and Italian text]. Available from all good bookshops and direct from IHS
Since its launch in mid-2005, Per l'Australia has earned a wide readership among students of history, migrants and the general public. The Newcastle Herald said 'The photographs will win your heart in this big, warm book that celebrates the lives and experiences of Italian Australians...' The Sydney Sun-Herald voted Per l'Australia No. 4 in its Top 10 History listing and before the end of 2005 the book went into its second edition. This story of resourcefulness, struggle and achievement, written in both English and Italian, draws on the extensive collection of photographs, documents, objects and oral histories housed at the Italian Historical Society - COASIT, Melbourne. The book celebrates the significant contribution Italian migrants have made to their adopted home since the arrival of the First Fleet.
Schools can also purchase our CD Per l’Australia education guide for VCE Italian, as well as SOSE and English (Middle and Lower Years). The guide was produced in association with Rosaria Zarro, COASIT Education Officer—Italian, Museum Victoria.
Stephens, F 1999, Interned and out: the work of the Italian painter Cesare Vagarini at POW Camp 3, Tatura, during World War II, Benalla Art Gallery, Benalla, Victoria. Paperback, photographs and illustrations, 28 pages [English text]. Available from the IHS A$11.00 plus postage.
The painter Cesare Vagarini was interned in Australia as an enemy alien in 1941. He and his wife were among several thousand enemy civilians living in British protectorates at the outbreak of World War II. This catalogue, produced by the Benalla Art Gallery to support their travelling exhibition of the same name, includes a brief history of the life of the artist prior to his capture in Palestine in 1941, as well as his time in detention in Australia. Included are black and white and colour reproductions of the works he produced while in detention and those completed prior to his death in 1990 in San Gimignano, Italy.
Ware, H 1981, A profile of the Italian community in Australia, Australian Institute of Multicultural Affairs, Melbourne and COASIT - Melbourne, Carlton, Victoria. Paperback, illustrated with tables, 122 pages [English text]. Available from the IHS A$11.00 plus postage.
This joint project between COASIT Italian Assistance Association - Melbourne and the Australian Institute of Multicultural Affairs was commissioned to obtain a comprehensive picture of the Italian community. Author, Dr Helen Ware of the Australian National University, uses demographic data on Italians from the 1976 Census to examine aspects of Italian migration and settlement from the 1800s to the mass migrations of the 1950s and 1960s. Also analysed are the educational backgrounds of first and subsequent generations, language use, citizenship issues, migrants and their offspring in the workforce, and the distribution of Italian populations across Australian states.
