The story of the Bracchi – when the Italians arrived in Wales

[Jordi Culé]

Loads of Italian families in Merthyr. Most of the Brachhis have closed now. Viazzinis Station Cafe is still going.

Chiappa sisters from Merthyr as was Mario Basini the journalist.

Both cafe backgrounds I think?

Think they are belonging to the Station Cafe lot. Sure I seen it one of her programmes. Their father sells coffee now.

Romano Provini is my favourite Merthyr Italian
