PRODUCER BACKGROUND

It was 1986 when Paolo and Gianni Petrussa decided to dedicate their lives to the family farm, trying to follow up on the great work and commitment made during the two previous generations by their grandfather Giuseppe and, subsequently, by their father Celestino. The decision left Celestino and Giustina, their parents, speechless and it was not difficult to understand why: their choice mentally brought them back to their past, to the hard life in the fields and to the continuous deprivations due to the economic difficulties that rural life imposed.
