Rosaria Talarico

Founder

Her education began in the countryside. This is the qualification she is most proud of, compared to the useless master's degree. Her grandfather Ercole was a farmer, her father Giovanni was an agrarian expert. From Giovanni, she learned the infinite poetry and harshness of agricultural life. When she was little she "got out" the potatoes, made countless harvests, she was in stables, pigsties and dairies. The peasants are all a bit philosophers, they include birdsong, the poignant melancholy of sunrises and sunsets, they greet everyone they meet because that's how life works away from metropolitan mistrust. After having traveled all over the world, she decided to found the brigand farm. As a child, her aunt Anna called her "Princess of Fiego.” Growing up she realized that she was more a brigandess.
