It was the over 90 grandfather, founder of the family business, Domenico (nicknamed in the village PACENA, today one of the brands of the firm) to support Luciano during that period. His experience and wisdom, together with the goodwill and spirit of sacrifice of the grandson, succeeded in compensating the absence of Luigi.
