It was an absolute pleasure to chat with Australian Idol Grand Finalist Gisella Colletti and her father Luke. Gisella is incredibly talented with an impressive vocal range and a powerful stage presence. We loved hearing Gisella tell us about her journey with Australian Idol, including having Marcia Hines surprise her at her house and performing with fellow Italian Australian, Tina Arena.
It was easy to see that the Colletti family is very close knit and value their Italian Australian Identity. Luke and Gisella recounted their 2023 trip to Italy and we discussed the special experience of visiting your ancestral areas in Italy. Gisella is the next generation of Italian Australians and we are so proud of her and the others like her who stay connected to their culture and acknowledge the sacrifices of those who immigrated.
