'Tony Shiavello, a furniture maker by trade, migrated to Australia from Italy in the 1950s, bringing with him the tenacity and can-do attitude that drove him to set up business providing interior fit out and supplying and installing office partitions to Melbourne businesses. Tony founded Shiavello in 1966 on the principles of innovation, quality and service excellence. Today, Shiavello stands as a multi-disciplinary, global organisation that is ranked as one of Australia’s top 100 private companies. At age 77, Tony Shiavello recounts his journey through a bounty of personal memories, insight and wisdom. It is a story that traverses eras, private and public domains, language, cultures and continents, and one which is firmly rooted in family tradition.' (Publication summary)
