Trulli is known far and wide across South Gippsland, but like so many of our other businesses, the Meeniyan landmark has been

closed during the lockdown. The difficulty Trulli is facing is a little different than most other businesses in that the operation

employs nine full-time jobs, all of which are here on Visas not eligible for JobKeeper or Seeker support.

To Francesco Iaera, that’s nine families without support. So, Francesco came up with an idea to help out. Francesco is the owner of Trulli and has hit the road, popping up in towns across the wider region, from Phillip Island to Traralgon, all those places where their customers travel

from. Last week they were in Mirboo North on a Monday. It’s important to understand that Mirboo North has its own pizza place, but it is closed on Monday and Tuesday. This is the approach Francesco is taking; not to compete but to provide a service on days when there is no other alternative. If the response from the people of Mirboo North says anything, it’s that Trulli makes a good pizza
