It all began when Gabriele, still very young, decided to leave his home town in the province of Avellino to move to Naples.

It was the post-war period, the first post-war period, it was the 1920s and Gabriele, after having gained a lot of experience as a chef, his first activity, opened his shoe shop in Naples in Corso Vittorio Emanuele. </ p>

Antonietta, who he will soon marry, will help him in his management by taking care of mending women's stockings. In those days socks were darned!

However, they were difficult times, we were getting ever closer to the period of the Second World War.

But things went reasonably well at the shop, the two managed to raise their three children Salvatore, Maria and Vittoria well, born in the 1940s.

But the business had now changed, the shop had now become an emporium and sold everything from detergents to stationery, from toys to hardware.

Vittoria and, subsequently, Maria, will reach the present day still managing the same shop.

But, with the advent of the third millennium, things change again: we need to adapt to technology.

Hence, the idea of bringing the shop to the Internet.
