transformed a garage into a computer lab before and into a real
professional studio, and now collaborates with the most
important names in the international economy thanks to the
creation of his "CicerOOs" application: a tourist
search engine that uses an algorithm able to
sew the itinerary tailored to the traveler. Santo Fragalà, veterinarian, who, at just 25 years of age, has invented a
job that combines the most ancient Sicilian tradition and the modern
organic products industry. He, the only dromedary breeder in
Europe, produces biscuits, cakes, creams, soaps and
cosmetic products with their milk.
Domenico Cristofaro who with the
olives builds slabs for the
building. Use olive pomace to
produce building panels. Pulp,
fragments of the stone and peel
worked to become long yellowish
sheets that are 100% recyclable and
usable in the construction of ceilings,
houses and roofs. Ecoplan is the
name of his company.
Daniela Ducato (15 million euros a year)
has invented "Edilana" with wool it
builds insulation for houses
and with milk it makes natural
paints. Thus it raised the fates of the
Sardinian shepherds starving for foreign
competition and of its family company now
in crisis.Alessandro Lassandro and Floriana Pupino in Taranto have created a
company that produces bio-cosmetics using donkey milk and extra
virgin olive oil as a raw material. Their company is called La Mediterranee and sells
all over the world, challenging even the multinationals.
