fields of Southern Italy in the year 1927, when Luigi Spedaliere met Anna Paulozza during the olive harvest. The two teenagers lived in the picturesque town of Montorio nei Fretani, known for its sprawling olive groves. Over the years their love blossomed and in 1934 they were married. Soon after, war broke out in Europe and Luigi left to serve in the army. Concerned for his new bride\u2019s well-being in his absence, Luigi purchased several pieces of land for olive farming as a source of income.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7e01af1 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7e01af1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b405495\" data-id=\"b405495\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bd4800 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5bd4800\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Anna grew up tending olive trees so she knew exactly how to manage the property to sustain herself until Luigi returned. Fortunately, Luigi returned from the war several years later to his beloved Anna and found that she had managed very nicely. Their olive groves never looked better. They immediately started a family and went on to have five beautiful children! But times were tough in Southern Italy after the war, with little opportunity. So Luigi and Anna decided to emigrate to Canada in the hopes of a better life for their growing family. Leaving the beauty and tranquility of their surroundings in Montorio was very difficult. Bordering on the Adriatic Sea, the mountainous regions rich and fertile lands produce the most flavorful vegetables, mozzarella and, of course, olive oil. In Canada, the Spedaliere family grew and prospered. Their son Vincent married and started a family of his own, two boys and a girl. The two boys were fascinated by their grandparents\u2019 tales of the old country. As young adults, their curiosity about their roots piqued so they decided to go to their grandparents\u2019 home in Italy hoping to revive the story of their heritage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a1b9805 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a1b9805\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8c2e540\" data-id=\"8c2e540\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-8e8eb8b elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8e8eb8b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-610f2cf\" data-id=\"610f2cf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c053dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3c053dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Louie and Dominic were thrilled to discover that their grandparents olive groves were alive and well, having been well maintained over the years by local family members. \u201cWe\u2019re going into the olive oil business\u201d the brothers exclaimed, and immediately took action.
