About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

From ice cream empire to enemy alien, meet enterprising Carlo Bodoni as he leaves his rural origins in northern Italy to become a well-known businessman and philanthropist in Adelaide of the 1920s and 1930s.

Laura will take you on a photographic tour of Carlo’s journey and ride the highs and lows of this intimate tale. Based on the true story of the triumph against prejudice, suspicion and the volatile global forces of the early 20th Century. Find out what happens to him and his fellow Italians when they are labelled enemy aliens and become hunted men. Will Carlo’s intelligence and resilience be enough to survive this new threat? What will happen to his beloved Cremona House?
