Stefano de Pieri was born in Treviso near Venice. He emigrated to Australia in 1974. Stefano attended Sydney Road Community School in Brunswick and then went to the University of Melbourne graduating in Politics and Italian Studies. Stefano became actively involved in many community causes from the time he came to Australia. He edited a fortnightly Italian newspaper called 'Nuovo Paese' which exposed him to many political and cultural identities. He experimented with food – always his passion – in the early 1980s and trained for a while in a professional environment but eventually chose to work in the Victorian Civil Service. He became private secretary to Minister Peter Spyker and subsequently an advisor to a number of Ministers for Ethnic Affairs. He married Donata Carrazza in 1991 and settled in Mildura at the same time. They have two children Domenico and Claudia. Stefano went on to assist in the refurbishment of the Grand Hotel and oversaw the food and beverage preparation. He was impressed by the local produce – and wine – but frustrated by the lack of recognition for the district. He began to imagine a book that would combine his food memories from his native Veneto and the produce of Mildura. The book was entitled ‘A Gondola on the Murray’ and after a few rejections from publishers it was accepted by ABC Enterprises the ABC’s publishing arm. It was subsequently turned into a television series of the same name. Stefano’s restaurant at the Grand has won many prestigious awards and continues to attract patronage from many diners. Stefano and Donata are continuing a family tradition of hospitality with the hope of providing variety and interest to residents and the many visitors who come to Mildura.
