Pia is the fiery, passionate and vivacious Italian heart of the Jones family. A second-generation Australian, Pia knows the struggles her parents went through and is determined to continue to foster her cross-cultural identity.

She is a force of nature, who notices everything and will always fight for her honour or that of her family, so it's best not to get on the wrong side of her.

That's not to say she's loveless - far from it. She adores her husband, Brian, and although she gets frustrated by her sometimes wayward children, Stavva and Lucia, she loves and

 

supports them - just like every Italian mama.

Her delicious food is probably Pia's best ally, making her many friends, including Ron O'Donnell ,and mending rifts if ever there are any.
