Pia Miranda first broke onto our screens in 2000 as a strong-willed teenager in the much-adored feature film Looking for Alibrandi. Since her iconic portrayal of Josephine Alibrandi, Pia has appeared in numerous films and TV series, including a triumphant season on Survivor. This month, Pia will be releasing her first book, Finding My Bella Vita, which takes readers from a small volcanic island in Italy to an upbringing in suburban Melbourne, casting calls in Los Angeles, and tribal councils on a Fijian beach. Pia joins 'Around Town' to discuss her memoir and her upcoming appearance at the Wheeler Centre's Spring Fling.
