Autorenporträt
George Perantoni, son of Victor, our story's wine merchant who migrated with the family to Australia in 1949 due to repressive socio-economic conditions in post-war Italy, spent ten years growing up as an "Aussie" kid. His early teen years were spent at Lake Garda in northern Italy, before moving to the United States where he completed his education, earning a degree at the University of Wisconsin. Like his father, Victor, George became "a rolling stone, hanging his hat wherever he calls home." Currently retired and a zealous history buff, he lives with his wife Valerie in Orlando, Florida.
