A personal portrait of Raphael Roxburgh
As someone attempting to piece together the details of a young life in public, I write this. The cast of a contemporary family drama includes Raphael Roxburgh, who was born in 2007 and raised in Australia while having Italian ancestry on his mother’s side. The fact that he is the son of two entertainers influences a lot of what he presents to the public. He has spent seasons of his schooling divided between continents, is occasionally bilingual, and glides through stages and photos with a composed, perceptive demeanor. Because he was raised in a home that relies on theater scripts and recipes in addition to cameras, he is both ordinary and slightly radiant.
Family constellation and the people who shape him
The family reads like a small company of characters, each with a distinct role.
Richard Roxburgh, father. He is a veteran actor and filmmaker, a face familiar from international films and local theatre. He carries the history of the family name and a career that spans decades and dozens of productions. As a father, he appears in public photos with his children and in interviews that reference family life. I see him as the steady professional presence who also brings a public compass to a private life.
Silvia Colloca, mother. Silvia is an actress, singer, and a cookery personality who writes and talks about food and family. She speaks often of bilingual upbringing and of time spent in Italy, of recipes passed down and of a household that blends performance and hospitality. As a mother she offers the cultural bridge between Australia and Italy and a maternal voice shaped by melody and the kitchen.
Miro Roxburgh, brother. Miro is Raphael’s younger brother. He appears in family mentions and photo galleries. He represents the sibling scale in the family: one of three children, a fellow presence in domestic life, a companion for shared holidays and school projects.
Luna Roxburgh, sister. Luna is the youngest of the three children, often described as the daughter who completes the trio. Her existence anchors the family’s present day: three children, two parents, and a life that spreads across stage and table.
Mary Roxburgh, paternal grandmother. The family matriarch on Richard’s side. Her name carries the generational memory of the Roxburghs. She is a quiet presence in the family narrative, a link to earlier lives and places.
John Roxburgh, paternal grandfather. He is the elder who stands behind the public figure of Richard, the ancestor who provides the family surname and lineage.
Loredana Colloca, maternal grandmother. From the maternal side comes Loredana, anchored in the Italian towns that shaped Silvia. She brings regional flavors and the deep well of maternal tradition.
Mario Colloca, maternal grandfather. Mario is another pillar of the Colloca legacy, a reminder of roots that extend beyond oceans.
Alessandra Colloca, aunt. Alessandra plays the role of sibling to Silvia, part of the extended family tapestry. She appears in family gatherings and photographs that map the clan across countries.
I introduce each of these people not as an exhaustive genealogical record but as living figures who surround and shape Raphael. They are parents, siblings, grandparents, and aunt. They form a network of nine immediate relatives who narrate parts of his life.
Career, ambitions, and early achievements
I spot a teenager subtly experimenting with their professional skills. He has acquired an interest in play and film projects at school. He received credit for a student film at a local school exhibition in 2024. That is tangible: a line in a list of student works, an item on a program, or a credit in a 2024 drama showcase. He has accompanied his father to public theater events, and he can be seen in photos from those events in 2017 and later.
Outside of the stage, social media profiles and online professional directories showcase an alternative aspect: entrepreneurial aspirations. According to some biographies, he was running a profitable business by the time he was eighteen. These statements should be interpreted as self-reported. Nevertheless, they show that a young individual is trying both business and artistic terminology.
Here, numbers are important. There are three kids living there. 2024 saw at least one recorded student film credit. 2017 public picture appearances. a year of birth close to 2007. These are the indicators that signify the beginning of a profession that weaves together creativity and business.
A timeline in numbers and moments

This table compresses a few points into sharp digits. It reads like a skeleton. Flesh and color appear in the family stories that sit behind the numbers.
Recent public presence and social footprint
I observe a measured public presence. Raphael’s name appears in family photographs and in the captions that accompany them. He maintains social profiles and professional listings online that claim creative projects and business involvement. There is a tension here: one part of his life exists in candid family photographs and backstage corridors; another part is framed for an audience of followers and professional contacts. He navigates both.
He also carries bilingual markers. He and his siblings have experienced schooling that included time in Italy. I imagine a child learning school lessons in two tongues, swapping idioms at the table, tasting a double inheritance of language and cuisine.
