Page 4 - Comites Aboriginal Italian People in SA
P. 4
Com.It.Es. SA maps these tides. Like the 614 South Australians counted in the 2021 Census with both heritages, we stand in that space between: living proof – blood mingled through violence and revival.
The image below is of Crismani Close under the Milky Way - a dirt road in Coober Pedy named for our family’s legacy.
Mum’s memories may fade like receding waves, but her shore remains. My son Matteo – namesake of his grandfather – charts cosmic frontiers from California. At San Bernardino University, where he serves as Assistant Professor of Astrophysics, his asteroid research earned a permanent celestial tribute: asteroid 30537 matteocrismani (2001 OR8) now orbits between Mars and Jupiter.
As we sail toward new creative and celestial horizons:
Underneath the bridge of night that beast can hold you tight... But until the last adventure,
We sail,
We sail for more
