Socceroos pair Vince Grella and Brett Emerton have been united at Ewood Park with the Torino midfielder signing with Blackburn.
Grella, 29, penned a four-year deal with Rovers.
He will play alongside compatriot Emerton after agreeing to a reported $8.6 million offer.
The Australian midfielder's new club confirmed the deal on its website.
"Rovers have this evening completed the signing of Australian midfielder Vince Grella from Torino on a four-year deal," the site said.
Grella began his European career with Empoli in the Serie A in 1998 before moving to Parma in 2004.
He is in line to make his EPL debut as early as this weekend against Lucas Neill's West Ham.
