    The official photographer for the F1, Lending Del Piero his cufflinks & The Pope - Photographer: John Toscano

    We're just going to go ahead and say it; This was one of our greatest ever episodes. There were laughs, unbelievable stories and a lot of great nostalgia. This week we were lucky to have on the offical photographer for the Forumula 1 GP, John Toscano.

    John has just about every famous figure in the world, from football superstars to the Pope to walking Sofia Loren down Bourke Street.

    To add to these already unbelievable experiences, John and his family ran Melrose Reception Centre for over 40 years (All you Melbourne Italians know what an institution that was).

    The chat that had it all, we hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed filming it.

    From Football to Racing - Australian Formula Open Driver: Giuliano Senese

    With the Melbourne Formula 1 Grand Prix just around the corner, we thought it would be fitting to bring on special guest and good friend of CALCIOCLUB and Australian Formula Open driver, Giuliano Senese from Giuliano Senese Racing Team.

    Giuliano gave us an incredible insight of the ins and outs of racing, from the technical details of his car to the incredible amount of money that is needed to just get on the track.

    Having him on also gave us the opportunity to nerd out about motorsport, our second love, and ask all the hard hitting questions such as, do drivers piss themselves when they need to go whilst on track?

    To find out the answer to this question and many others, tune in to the full episode available on Spotify, YouTube and anywhere you get your podcasts from.

    Don't forget to chuck us a follow and follow Giuliano on his journey across his social media channels 🫶
