LA FAMIGLIA
GIOVANNI MEMBERS OLD AND NEW
A lot of people ask about the origin of our name, Giovanni L'Immigrato (Jonny the Foreigner). At the time of the band's first gigs, the band was made up of just the two Jons and a bunch of foreigners: Dario (Italy), Conor (Ireland), and Juliette (Canada). Hence Dario thought up the name Giovanni L'Immigrato. In fact, Jon had always talked about wanting to name the band after himself. It took the rest of us several years to realise that, in the end, that is exactly what happened!
