Oral history recording in English with Antonio Marchesi. Recorded as part of the Italian Memories in Wales project (2008-10), delivered by ACLI-ENAIP and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Part 4 of 6 (AV 11426-11431)

00:00:01 Antonio talks about the Welsh people he met at his workplace, who talk him to speak Welsh and as a result he started to forget English. The more time he spends in Wales the more Antonio and his family integrate within the community. They went on to create an Italian community in Wales as more Italians moved to the area, with which they organised trips, events with the Italian immigrant community in Wales.
