Divino

we make sorbet filled fruit in italy's amalfi coast. It Began on a Night in Naples.

It was a natural fit. He knew he had his mark. He had her diamond. As the story of their love grew, so did the fame of Angelos product. As fate would have it, during the summer of 1962, Jacqueline Kennedy visited the Amalfi Coast. From local cafés to lavish parties, First Lady Kennedy encountered Angelos gelato filled fruits.
