[Autobiography - book one & two]
As a migrant to Australia, married to an Australian, I wrote this continuation of my autobiography from 1997, when we moved from far north Queensland to northern NSW. At present Angela and I live in Lismore. Our three children are grown up and are living in Sydney. My autobiography, He Called Me By My Name, is the synthesis of two books: Over the next Hill and Courage and Hope. Over the next Hill is the story of my life from my birth in Adria, in war-torn Italy, and many years of searching for meaning to 1997, when our family left far north Queensland to find a home in New South Wales. It tells the story of my childhood dreams and troubles, my travels, my spiritual journey and my struggles to find the meaning of my life. Over the next Hill was written between 1992 and 1998. Courage and Hope, written in 2005-2006, is the story of our life in Lismore, both as an Australian family, and as a couple whose children have left home. Having achieved some of the purposes related in Over the Next Hill, I relate what happen in our family and how I came to terms with many of the questions of my youth.

Autobiography I am well aware that what is written in this book is not everybody’s cup of tea. This doesn’t worry me. My first concern is to tell my children who their Dad is. This means telling them the facts of life, my life, in the way I see it and live it – life with its ups and downs - since 1966 especially, seen and understood for what it is under the light of the Gospel. Is it a failure? It is not up to me, nor anybody else, to judge. God is the ultimate Judge. I am not writing for money, or glory, or to try to justify myself. I am writing in order to leave a legacy with this message: “I am what I am – for what it’s worth – not because of me, but because of Jesus Christ to whom I committed myself, totally and unconditionally, and whom I love above everything else, even my own life.”

The Merry River Source of a New Life [By Paolo Salti] In 1983, Italian Joe Salti finds himself in a new country, with his newly acquired Australian wife, a one-year-child and another on the way. With little savings, and limited employment opportunities, but wanting a home of their own, they leave the city for the remote north of Queensland, the last frontier, where they would be able to afford make their home. Life is hard but good. They must adapt to the bush surroundings, without support of the extended family or the conveniences that most of us take for granted: water on tap, electricity, phone, decent roads. Isolated from mainstream society, they have come to a different type of society. There is never a dull moment as the family grows among, for the most part, alienated troubled folk who have also made a niche for themselves in this harsh but beautiful environment. This is Joe’s account of an out of the ordinary experience of creative pioneering in circumstances which most Australians would find unimaginable in modern day Australia and undreamed of for the rest of the west. This is the story of the people who were part of their life for fourteen years.
