Piccola® - CANNOLI FLAVOURS

---

Nonno Gregorio Zenere was born in Caldogno, Vicenza, Veneto to Vittorio Zenere and Letizia Fabbi. Nonno departed Genova, Liguria, Italy on 1st Feb 1951 aboard the ship ‘Ugolino Vivaldi’ and arrived in Melbourne 12th March. He later moved to Sydney where he met and married our Nonna Angelina in Leichhardt.

Nonna Angelina Zenere was born in Gardolo, Trento, Trentino-Alto Adige to Luigi DeManincor and Carolina Facchini. She left Italy when she was just 5 years old with brother Giorgio and her mother Carolina. They departed Italy aboard the ship 'Esquilino' in Feb 1938. Her brother Sergio soon followed. Nonna's homemade biscotti & cannoli recipes are proving very popular amongst Biscotti & Cannoli Lovers visiting our micro bakery &  gift store.

Adrian Zenere, the eldest son of Nonno Gregorio and Nonna Angelina, is a registered architect who loves to share his appreciation of some of his nonni and mother's favourite Italian recipes he grew up with, so much so, that he made room in his Sydney architectural practice for La Famiglia Zenere micro bakery.

Amber Zenere married into the family over 25 years ago. Being immersed in the Italian culture for nearly 3 decades she has come to love all things Italian including Dolci & Giftware and often says that you don't have to be Italian to appreciate Italian culture, coffee, food, architecture & design. Amber spent over 20 years working in restaurants and as hotel management for international hotels both here in Sydney as well as in Auckland, London and New York and with Qantas Airways. 

Being a family business with a small dedicated team, including both their sons Zack and Blake and Nonno Gregorio and Nonna Angelina, all lending a helping hand they recognise their customer’s need for premium dolci and unique giftware. Serving freshly baked biscotti and quality cannoli piped fresh on the spot perfect for the celebration dessert table and gifting. With a focus on both Italian biscotti, cannoli and quality gift options for celebrations, weddings and corporate events .........Piccola® Sydney was born in February 2019!
