“Fontana Vecchia is where it all begins. It’s the starting point of my siclian family’s journey—from humble farmers to modest landowners. Along the way, they met an incredible variety of creative and strong, influential characters from different nationalities and religions. What brought them all together was their love of food and the gifts nature provides, their belief in strong Sicilian traditions, and always an open mind paired with that classic Sicilian generosity. It became a discovery—a way to uncover where it all started. Thanks to old letters , I was able to trace back the roots of my family story and understand the foundation of it all.”
