Brand Story
To know the history of Pasticceria Cappello you need to take a few steps back over the years. The founder, Bartolomeo, was born in 1887 in Boccadifalco, a hamlet of Palermo, where he had started a small dairy farming business for the production of milk. Due to a dispute that arose over the sale of a sheep, the price of which he had stubbornly insisted on, he, as a young man, was nicknamed "Bartolo tre lire".
Shortly after the start of the Second World War, together with his wife Provvidenza and his son Giovanni, he moved to Palermo, opening a dairy in 1944 given the primary post-war needs. Until 1960, the dairy continued its activity together with that of a small bar serving coffee and cappuccinos, and in the summer, of artisanal ice cream production under the direction of grandmother Assunta assisted by her eldest son Bartolomeo junior and little Salvatore. But it was Salvatore's uncle, Giuseppe Ferruggia, who advised his nephew to start a small pastry business by teaching him how to prepare the well-known "Sicilian cannoli", "buccellato", and "genovese".
