For Charlie Rossi life has gone full circle. Although his father Giovanni was one of the first of 15,000 Italians to settle in South Wales and Charlie was born in Ebbw Vale, he can never forget the Italian village of Bardi where they originally came from. Charlie married his childhood sweetheart Iolanda in Bardi and now their daughter Maria lives there with her husband Aldo and Charlie's grandson Giovanni. In summer the accent of the Welsh valleys takes over from the local dialect when Charlie and the Italian-Welsh return to their other home. As Iolanda says: 'My family laugh at me - I cry when I leave Bardi, and I cry when I come back to Ebbw Vale.'
