This book is a longitudinal story of seven Italian-Australian family business dynasties
spanning over a hundred years across three generations and starting with the founding
generation who migrated to Australia in the first half of the 20th century. With hard work and
sacrifices they set the foundations of a long-lasting family culture and the values that form
the glue of a multigenerational family business. The book focuses on the personal family and
business values that keep family members across generations continuing to engage together and
successfully as a family and a business. The book elaborates on the complexity of 'what is a
family business' what it represents for the generational members that are part of it how
these family businesses have emerged consolidated and expanded and finally how they continue
to survive into the third generation enabling the dynasty to flourish.
