Anthony Albanese siblings: Who are his half brothers and sisters?

This great man was brought into this world by Carlo Albanese who is from Barletta, Italy, and Maryanne Ellery who is also of Australian Irish descent.

His parents met in March 1962 on a voyage from Sydney to Southampton on the Simar Line’s TSS Fairsky. His father worked as a steward but did not continue with their relationship anymore and got separated.

His family migrated to Australia from the United Kingdom in the year 1966. He did not meet his father because he was told his father passed away in a car accident. It would later be discovered that the story of his father’s demise was fabricated.

Anthony was born on the 2nd of March 1963 at St Margaret’s Hospital in the Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst. He attended St mary’s Cathedral College and then proceed to study economics at the University of Sydney. He then joined the Labor Party as a student before entering parliament to work as a party official and research officer. He was elected to the House of Representatives in the 1996 election, winning the seat of Grayndler in New South Wales.

In 2001 he went on to serve in several roles and eventually became the Manager of the Opposition Business in 2006.

Anthony was raised by a single parent, his mother Maryann Albanese. All his life he had thought his father had died in a car crash but some years on, Maryann revealed the truth about his father, an Italian who had courted his mother leading to his birth. His mother told him, that the idea of a marriage was only false but she did that to earn the surname. Anthony was still determined to seek his father.  With help of the man who fathered him and the law, he got his answer.

His father was finally found and there was an amazing reunion between him and his old man,

‘The door opened, he walked in and opened his arms to me and was embraced,’ Albanese aid, tearing up at his recollection of the amazing scene.

‘It was incredibly generous of him I think, and it was a very poignant moment,’ Albanese told Leigh Sales on ABC TV’s 7.30.

 ‘He also brought, and I didn’t know I had them, my half-brother and half-sister, Rogero and Francesca’.
