-..and wear the blue of the Azzurri.	0:01:49	0:01:51
-This is the incredible story -of two Welsh youngsters...	0:02:02	0:02:06

-Dino and Marco's new home -is the town of Viadana...	0:02:09	0:02:13
-..which is half an hour -from Parma in northern Italy.	0:02:13	0:02:17
-Viadana's rugby academy -feeds Aironi...	0:02:20	0:02:23
-..one of two professional -rugby teams in Italy.	0:02:23	0:02:27
-Aironi's head coach -is Welshman Rowland Phillips.	0:02:30	0:02:34
-Gruff Rees also coaches here, -on a secondment from the WRU.	0:02:34	0:02:38

-The link between Wales and Italy, -and the Dallavalle family's story...	0:03:02	0:03:07
-..starts in Bardi, as does that -of many other ice cream families.	0:03:07	0:03:11
-It's up in the mountains, -some 45 minutes from Parma.	0:03:11	0:03:15
-Wave after wave of Italians -left this area...	0:03:15	0:03:18
-..for the South Wales -mining communities...	0:03:18	0:03:22
-..in the hope of finding -a better life.	0:03:22	0:03:24
-As time passed, these families -put down deep roots in the valleys.	0:03:26	0:03:32
-They adopted local cultures -and made a significant impact...	0:03:32	0:03:36
-..on the economic success -of the new Wales.	0:03:36	0:03:38

-Almost a century later, -the fourth generation...	0:03:45	0:03:49
-..twins Dino and Marco, follow -the same path, albeit in reverse.	0:03:49	0:03:54

-They're returning to Ammanford -to celebrate Christmas.	0:04:08	0:04:11
-Mam can't wait to see them.	0:04:12	0:04:14
-It was like grieving. It sounds -like an awful thing to say.	0:04:15	0:04:18
-It was like I'd lost them -and I was heartbroken.	0:04:19	0:04:22
-My husband said, "For goodness' -sake, Maria, don't worry about it.	0:04:22	0:04:27
-"They're fine."	0:04:27	0:04:29

-I'm the shortest.	0:05:28	0:05:30
-Dino is the oldest by an hour, -but it doesn't make a difference.	0:05:31	0:05:34
-I do the majority of the cooking.	0:05:35	0:05:38
-I do the majority of the cleaning, -so you can shut up.	0:05:38	0:05:42
-They are different. -Marco smiles more.	0:05:43	0:05:47
-Dino knows what he likes in life.	0:05:47	0:05:50

-I went to see the school XV -the other day...	0:05:57	0:06:00
-English is the language -of the home.	0:06:00	0:06:03
-Unlike Stefano, the twins -weren't taught in Welsh.	0:06:03	0:06:07
-They live together, -they train together.	0:06:07	0:06:10
-They have the same friends -and study the same school courses.	0:06:10	0:06:15
-They're really close.	0:06:16	0:06:18
-I think they argue but they -always look out for one another.	0:06:18	0:06:22
-Are you glad to be back?	0:06:26	0:06:28
-Yes.	0:06:29	0:06:30
-What about school?	0:06:31	0:06:32
-What about school? - -You've missed a lot.	0:06:32	0:06:33
-How's the Italian coming along?	0:06:34	0:06:36
-Say something.	0:06:36	0:06:38
-Or do you only know the rugby terms?	0:06:38	0:06:41
-Yeah, the rugby terms.	0:06:41	0:06:43
-Yeah, the rugby terms. - -Subito.	0:06:43	0:06:44
-What's that?	0:06:44	0:06:45
-What's that? - -Quick, quick ball.	0:06:45	0:06:47
-Left, right - sinistra, destra.	0:06:48	0:06:50
-Fondo - deep, largo - wide.	0:06:51	0:06:53
-Piato - tight.	0:06:53	0:06:55
-Stretto - straight. -Avanti - go straight.	0:06:55	0:07:00
-Giu - back, su - up.	0:07:00	0:07:02
-It's going well then.	0:07:02	0:07:03
-Their physical talent first became -apparent at Amman Valley School.	0:07:07	0:07:11
-The school has a long and proud -history of nurturing rugby talent.	0:07:12	0:07:17
-Shane Williams -attended this school...	0:07:18	0:07:21
-..and the twins -soon became keen rugby players.	0:07:21	0:07:24
-You needed a gun to stop them -on the rugby field.	0:07:28	0:07:31
-Half a tackle was never enough. -You had to hit them back.	0:07:32	0:07:35
-You hoped -you could stand up afterwards.	0:07:35	0:07:38
-They wouldn't stop for anyone.	0:07:38	0:07:41
-They were hard.	0:07:42	0:07:43
-I remember when they were called up -to play for the district team.	0:07:44	0:07:48
-They were playing -eight against two in training.	0:07:49	0:07:52
-The two were Dino and Marco.	0:07:52	0:07:53
-They had to stop training -because they were dominant.	0:07:54	0:07:58
-They couldn't train because the two -were beating the eight.	0:07:58	0:08:02
-At the time, I knew they were good.	0:08:03	0:08:05
-The Amman Valley's finest -go on to play for the Scarlets.	0:08:06	0:08:10
-When the cream of the crop -from the school were invited...	0:08:10	0:08:14
-..to join the region's -academy squad...	0:08:14	0:08:18
-..the twins weren't among them.	0:08:18	0:08:21
-Carwyn Jones is convinced -that this was a mistake.	0:08:21	0:08:25
-The boys played against -the players in these squads.	0:08:25	0:08:29
-They know, to some extent...	0:08:29	0:08:31
-..if the squad players -are better than them or not.	0:08:32	0:08:35
-I didn't think, -and neither did they...	0:08:35	0:08:38
-..that the squad players -were that much better than them...	0:08:38	0:08:43
-..to merit a place ahead of them.	0:08:43	0:08:45
-There should be another way in...	0:08:52	0:08:55
-..for players who develop -over the age of 16.	0:08:56	0:08:59
-We're too small a country -to lose a player.	0:08:59	0:09:04
-Shane Williams -would still be with Amman Utd...	0:09:04	0:09:08
-..if he'd gone through -the current system.	0:09:08	0:09:11
-They must accept that some players -might slip through the net.	0:09:12	0:09:16
-Teachers should be responsible -for catching what slips through...	0:09:17	0:09:21
-..and say, -"You've missed one or two here.	0:09:21	0:09:24
-"Just have a look at them."	0:09:24	0:09:27
-As the door -to the Scarlets closed...	0:09:28	0:09:31
-..Carwyn Jones sought another door -through their Italian ancestry.	0:09:31	0:09:37
-I played a couple of games -with Rowland and I know Derwyn.	0:09:42	0:09:46
-I got in touch with Derwyn, -who has contacts across the world.	0:09:47	0:09:52
-He took it from there.	0:09:53	0:09:55
-He came back. -"Boys, do you fancy it?" "Yes!"	0:09:55	0:09:59
-Dino and Marco contacted me in June -through a rugby agent.	0:10:07	0:10:13
-I received a copy of their CV.	0:10:14	0:10:16
-I spoke to Rowland and Gruff -about their background.	0:10:19	0:10:23
-I soon realized -that they were good rugby players.	0:10:23	0:10:26
-Since they were also Italians, -I decided to meet them...	0:10:27	0:10:31
-..and see if there was a possibility -they could play for Viadana.	0:10:32	0:10:36
-The decision to turn their backs -on friends and Welsh rugby...	0:10:45	0:10:49
-..was a difficult one...	0:10:49	0:10:51
-..as was choosing pasta and pesto -over sausage and chips!	0:10:52	0:10:55
-The opportunity to come out -was too good to refuse.	0:10:55	0:10:59
-Not having the chance to play -for the Scarlets was disappointing.	0:10:59	0:11:04
-But then I had the chance -to play in Italy.	0:11:05	0:11:08
-Initially, -I wasn't sure if I wanted to go.	0:11:10	0:11:13
-We both enjoyed school.	0:11:13	0:11:15
-We had a lot of friends in school -and wanted to study for A Levels.	0:11:16	0:11:20
-I wanted them to go.	0:11:20	0:11:22
-OK, they were young...	0:11:22	0:11:26
-..but if it didn't work out, -they could study when they returned.	0:11:26	0:11:31
-This was a once-in-a-lifetime -opportunity.	0:11:31	0:11:34
-After a lot of soul-searching, -they decided to go for it.	0:11:39	0:11:43
-It was the beginning of a familiar -journey for the Dallavalle family.	0:11:43	0:11:48
-It's in the blood.	0:11:48	0:11:49
-Our great-grandfather was 12 -when he moved to Wales.	0:11:49	0:11:53
-He was on his own.	0:11:53	0:11:55
-In a way, a century later, -it's the same.	0:11:55	0:11:58
-He didn't know what would happen -when he arrived in Wales.	0:11:58	0:12:03
-He established -a successful ice cream business.	0:12:03	0:12:06
-A century later, Dino and Marco -have returned to Italy.	0:12:09	0:12:13
-This might be the start -of a successful career for them.	0:12:13	0:12:17
