02.01.2022 Everyone at ITSOWEL and all of Valdina’s friends and family extend best birthday wishes for her milestone 100th birthday! Valdina Crasnich is a first generation Italian who settled in the Illawarra leaving Italy on 17 December 1955. She travelled to Australia on the ship ‘Aurelia’ from Genoa. Listen to her amazing story of how she had four hours to pack and leave her home on our virtual museum website www.vmiii.com.au. If you look closely you will see the trunk in which Valdina brought her belongings in one of the virtual rooms in the site. Tanti auguri Signora Crasnich!!
