What was the seed for what is now your food business?
My business is a family business; developed from my grandparents who were farmers. First sharecroppers and then they developed into direct farmers of their own lands. My parents then became farm owners too. Their farm consisted of the same land as my grandparents and mainly suited to the cultivation of vegetables.

I decided to undertake this new business as my mother, whom was owner of the business, had been close to retirement and I didn’t want the company to be permanently closed.

The history of Caprareccia began in February 1933 when the Galli family of Emilio and Maria settled. The whole family worked as sharecroppers and in 1961 Carlino and Beppina Galli with their sons bought the farm, continuing the activities of winemaking and olive growing. I opened the farm, with ambition to extend and in 1992 we increased the agricultural activity by introducing new necessary innovations. The farm has been extended to 35 Hectares producing grapes for wines, olives and other fruits.
