There are moments in life when you realise that something has changed inside you. That it’s time to pursue your own dreams and passions. My passion for tomatoes started long ago, in my homeland. In San Marzano sul Sarno there is not only the family’s first company, but also my roots. There, I was lost in my thoughts as a child, in my desires as a woman and I dreamed that one day I would have created something that spoke about me. Because the red gold I had in my hands, so fragrant and intense, was true love for the good things. In fact my summers have always been very lively because of the harvest in the fields. The most important work was carried out by women, in choosing the best ripe fruits. I secretly watched these women, watched them getting to work and if I could , I would ask them some more information. I learned from them everything about this all female magical world and I owe all my success to them. Italianavera is more than a brand. It is passion, femininity. It is the story of a woman who has had the good fortune of being born among sprawling fields of tomatoes, in one of the most beautiful places in the world, Italy.
