Reason for leaving homeland – Left Orvieto during the war, went to Rome for work, married Laurentiu Alduca, had 3 children Bucura 1949, Iliana 1951, Laurentiu Jnr 1956.

About the Journey – same as Laurentiu Alduca

Impressions on Arrival – arrived in Bonegilla at night, terrified, transport people threw down all luggage, including boxes of crockery which we could hear breaking, was heartbroken. Horrible accommodation, toilets were holes in the ground. Cried for days.
