Today, our thoughts at Malù turn to a great man, Grandpa Paolo.

In the 1960s, he had the wise idea, with the precious and hardworking presence of Grandma Anna, to build the building where our facility is located, right on the site opposite where Grandpa Nicola's birthplace once stood, right by the sea.

This intuition gave us the opportunity to welcome our guests in a charming location as well as creating employment opportunities for his grandchildren.

Today, we celebrate and remind everyone of May 14, 1923, exactly 103 years ago, when Grandpa Paolo was born here in Polignano a Mare.

He loved to say in our memorable grandfather-grandson chats that upon his 100th birthday, he would retire, meaning a vacation, given how many things (he, a dynamic man full of ideas) he had on his mind.

And now she celebrates this coveted milestone in Heaven with Grandma Anna (already the wonderful Grandma whom the Lord called too soon and who would have blown out 100 candles this year) and our coach, Mamma Mariella, who tomorrow, May 15th, would also have celebrated 78 candles.

We are left with the satisfaction of having known such wonderful examples of life.

The Malù is dedicated to you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA PAOLO, GRANDMA ANNA, and MOM MARIELLA.
