Renowned ABC journalist, Virginia Trioli, has just taken the helm of ABC Radio Melbourne’s mornings program, described as “one of the most important meeting places in Melbourne”… She was born in Bendigo in 1965, and grew up as one of seven children in Nunawading, an outer eastern suburb of Melbourne. Her father was born in Motta San Giovanni, a little town outside Reggio-Calabria, and arrived in Australia as a young boy.
