Paolo Totaro
I was born in Naples in 1933. Dad, babbo, Giuseppe, was from Sansevero in Puglia, and mamma, Martha Girosi, from a Neapolitan family of some distinction both in the arts and the Navy. I spent the school years at the Jesuit-run college Il Pontano from age 6 to 17. We were in Naples throughout the dark years of bombings and occupation by foreign armies of WWII. On completing school I studied at both the Conservatorio San Pietro a Majella, where I graduated in pianoforte, and at the University Federico II, in Naples, where I graduated in law. After a period of indecision – whether to follow the uncertain career of pianist or seek a more immediately stable income – I found a then rarely offered job at Fiat, in Turin.
This led, in 1963, to a short-term transfer to Sydney with Mariella, my wife, and daughter Paola, then three years old. In 1965, our son,Riccardo, was born in Melbourne.
