Giacomo, a two time semifinalist in the World Barista Championship, returned to Italy after working as Master Barista in London, eager to promote specialty coffee to a broader audience. The Vannelli brothers represent the third generation of skilled artisans from their family, building on a legacy of precision and craftsmanship. Their roastery and academy focus on educating both professionals and coffee lovers, establishing themselves as the point of reference for specialty coffee education in Italy.
