Tradition, Passion, and Family


1956

In the mid-20th century, Vasco Vannelli and his wife Irma opened a small pastry shop. Within a few years, they became a landmark in Cortona, supplying over 100 coffee shops daily. Their passion, tenacity, and dedication to work were the foundations of our journey.

1975

At just 18, their son Luciano Vannelli opened “La Pasticceria Vannelli” in Camucia. After 48 years, this pastry shop is still considered the go-to place for breakfast. Thanks to the quality of its pastries and impeccable service, it has been regarded as the family pastry shop for three generations.

As children, we ran behind the counter of our father's coffee shop, amidst the clatter of cups, the aroma of croissants, and people's smiles. A special place: the coffee shop was our Luna Park, and making coffee was our favorite game.

This is where we began to learn and discover the beauty of the coffee world.
