My Place

Wollert resident Adriano Di Girolami. (Damjan Janevski) 422072_01

Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do?

My name is Adriano, and I’m 42. I work as a linesman, working on the power-lines for a small but amazing company, OverHead Manintenance Services. (OHMS) In my spare time, I like to spend time going to the gym, cooking on the BBQ, gaming, and getting tattoos. I also have a 5 yo Rottweiler named Rosa and a 3 month old golden retriever named Torvi.

What’s your connection to the city of Whittlesea/Wollert?

My partner and I have been residents of Wollert for the last 7 years.

What, if anything, would you change about where you live?

A few more pubs and restaurants wouldn’t hurt. Maybe even a zero latency for some VR gaming, cinemas, or other forms of entertainment.

Where is your favourite local place to spend time?

It’s hard to say. I head to Sharp Fadez Barber about twice a month for a beard trim and shave, I highly recommend them! I see Jess Fox from King of Hearts Tattoo a few times a year. Hit up, Pete or Jess, if you want a tattoo. They’re awesome! Then there is time zone, bowling, restaurants, RSL, and the republic tavern for a beer. Once you get familiar with the locals, they make you feel like part of the family.

Tell us something people would be surprised to know about you?

I am someone who likes to help his mates out whenever I get a chance.

What is your favourite memory about living where you live?

After securing my land and waiting almost three years for it to get titled and my house being built, my favourite memory was moving into my first home, setting down my roots. Other favourite memories were discovering local neighbours to trade home grown food with and becoming mates.
