4. A REAL PASSION
The Vergnano family's true vocation soon became clear - within a few years, that small shop mastered all the secrets of
roasting and selling coffee. The company grew at an astonishing rate, and the first three Italian shops were opened in
Turin, Alba and Chieri. But the true leap forward happened in the 1930s, and was the outcome of a brave decision - the
purchase of a coffee factory in Kenya.
