Molfettesi di Adelaide

21/07/2026

What you're about to watch is more than just old film footage—it's a living memory of Molfetta, its people, and a way of life that many still hold close to their hearts.
Captured by our late Uncle Lorenzo Altamura, this remarkable film preserves moments that might otherwise have been lost forever, allowing us to revisit the sights and spirit of a much-loved Molfetta.
This precious footage takes us back to a Molfetta of another era, capturing the churches, buildings, streets, markets, people, cars, horse and carts, La Villa, the famous Gelateria Cipriani and the beautiful winding streets of Molfetta Vecchia (Old Molfetta). It is a rare glimpse into everyday life and a community that shaped so many of our families and traditions.
We acknowledge that this video may contain images of loved ones who have since passed away. As we watch, may we honour their memory, celebrate their contributions to our community, and remember the values, stories, and traditions they passed on to future generations.
A very special thank you goes to Michael Altamura, whose foresight and dedication ensured these priceless films were preserved rather than lost to time. Through his commitment, patience, and countless hours of work, these treasured memories have been safeguarded, digitised, and shared with our community so they can be enjoyed by generations to come.

And on a personal note...

🎉 Happy Birthday, Dad. This one is for you. 🎉

While searching through our video archives, look at what we discovered, precious footage captured by our late Uncle Lorenzo Altamura of a bustling market in Molfetta.
This remarkable film takes us back to a time and place where life was simple, community was at the heart of everything, and the streets were filled with the everyday moments that now form part of our shared history. Through Uncle Lorenzo’s lens, we are gifted a rare window into the people, sights, and spirit of Molfetta as it once was.
We acknowledge that this video does contain images of loved ones who have since passed away. As we watch, may we remember their spirit, their sacrifices, and the countless contributions they made to their families and community. Their legacy lives on through these memories and the generations that follow.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Today on this Anzac Day, we will remember them.

Lest we forget.

The smell of freshly made Taralli is simply incredible! When your 6 year old asks for “tarard” and you love baking this is the result!
