Our Italian tradition dates back to Nana Carmela
and to her ancestors many generations before her.
Nana Carmela and her family immigrated to Brooklyn, New York in 1921.
Although, her family in Italy produced prominet politicians, busninessmen and military officers, that mattered very little in United States.
As so many immigrants at the time, she and her family had to roll up their sleeves,
prove their work ethic and establish their familiy's traditions once more.

Nana Carmela was born in Lipari

Nana Zagame Carmela Taranto was born on Dec. 3rd, 1897 in Lipari, Italy.
Lipari belongs to the Aeolian Islands, a volcanic-in-origin archipelago located just a few miles off the northern coast of Sicily in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Renowned for perfect weather, this group of rugged islands includes Stromboli, one of the most active volcanoes on the planet, one that's erupted almost continuously for the last 2,000 years. And yet, over 500 brave souls still live on this time bomb.
The islands are easily reached by ferry or hydrofoil from ports throughout the central Mediterranean, and believe it or not, people journey to Stromboli to eat a pizza, cooked in ovens heated by the volcano.
"Oh waiter, I'll have a large lava pizza special, and would you please put some extra danger on it. Grazie!"
