Lee and Victoria weren’t the only ones to love “Finding My Bella Vita” by Pia Miranda… Here is what the QBD crew thought:
One of Australia’s most-loved and critically acclaimed actors, Pia Miranda, has written an intimate and honest memoir “Finding My Bella Vita”.
Due to her prominent role in ‘Looking for Alibrandi’, Pia has been forever linked to the beloved character, Josie. However, playing the role of Josie is only a small aspect of the multitude of experiences that has shaped Pia’s life and the woman she is today. In her early life, Pia pursued her childhood dream of becoming a ballet dancer but unfortunately, she was shamed out of her leotard and into a new passion: acting. Her rise to fame was a rollercoaster ride and after this popularity, came the hardships of real life. Work stress, heartbreak, grief, illness, love, and marriage. Her childhood was always bouncing between her strong Italian heritage and her very Australian heritage, whilst attempting to establish a space of her own.
An authentic and delightful self-exploration into the importance of culture, family and the things in life that shape you. “Finding My Bella Vita” is a heart-warming memoir that reminds readers of the importance of loved ones, and like Pia’s Nonna told her, every day on top of the earth is a good day.
