We teamed up with content creator Massimo Corrente in this week's episode. Massimo is a proud Italian Australian based in Melbourne and is doing an amazing job and keeping our culture proud and strong for the next generation. He achieves this is fun and light hearted ways such as being crowned the title by Sooshi Mango as 'The Fully Sickest of Them All'. Beyond the silliness and laughs Massimo is completely authentic is his passion for and knowledge about Italian Culture with a strong connection to his family in Italy and an impressive grasp on the language.

We had many laughs in the chat, it felt as though we were chatting with a young cousin. We were left feeling proud and inspired and are looking forward to seeing what adventure is next for Massimo.

We were thrilled to get a chance to chat with Michael Cristiano ahead of the release of his new album 'Mai Finira'

Michael was born and raised in Melbourne to Calabrese immigrants. His talents as a musician were obvious from 6 years of age and Michael describes his father as being influential and supportive on his journey as a musician. Michael has had a long and successful career in the music industry as a performer, a composer and a producer. His most recent work is 'Mai Finira'- an album of original songs with Italian lyrics. As soon as we heard these songs we could immediately feel the passion in Michael's music. In our chat Michael explained to us how he became inspired to create 'Mai Finira'. We were both so interested to hear this story and we have become big fans of his work, especially 'Mai Finira', the Italian lyrics bring something extra special. We are so excited to share this chat and Michael's new album with our listeners. See the links to find out more about Michael and to listen to 'Mai Finira'
