"Forty years ago, at the tender age of 25, we embarked on a journey unlike any other. Enrico, the printer, Lorenzo, the fire extinguisher representative, myself, Franco, Federico, employed in a jeans factory, and Paolo, the banker, came together with a shared dream. From 1979 onward, our weekends and holidays were devoted to mastering the art of cultivating the land and laying the groundwork for what would eventually become Aurora. While Lorenzo brought agricultural expertise from his upbringing in the very house where our project was conceived, the rest of us were novices. Gratefully, Lorenzo's family welcomed us with open arms, imparting invaluable knowledge on working the land.
