This article investigates the return migration experience of a group of Italian migrants from the town of Caulonia in southern Italy who, after living for a period of time in South Australia, decided to return permanently to Italy. It deals with the issue of return, which has often been neglected in the studies related to the settlement of Italian migrants in Australia. Drawing on qualitative research data, the article highlights the reasons that caused the cauloniesi to migrate to Australia and the motives that subsequently led to their return to Caulonia.
