Pasticceria Campidoglio starts up in Sant 'Agata di Militello, Sicily, in 1930.The founder Mr Rosario Calanni Billa starts his production and sale as in the parlor as through the city streets, using a refrigerated tricycle, two were the flavors of ice cream, lemon and chocolate , and obviously the famous lemon granita.The spouses Rosario Calanni Billa jr. and his wife Agostina Rosella, following the tradition of his father Mr Rosario, founded the Bar Gelateria e Pasticceria "CAMPIDOGLIO".Continuing the family business and enriching it with new flavours and introducing new types of ice cream and granita (walking cones, mignon cones, ice cream cookies, tartufi, frozen desserts and cakes, cassatelle ^) as well as a whipcream of extraordinary sweetness they started out the pastry bakery becoming a point of excellence with regard to the processing of almonds (Sicilian Amaretti) and ricotta cheese (Sicilian Cannoli and Cassate) giving its origins to "PASTICCERIA CAMPIDOGLIO" .The sons Giuseppe and Sebastiano Calanni Billa, being the third generation, continue the activity handed down by their grandfather using the old recipes and processing methods.Today, as in 1930, nothing has changed in the way of producing. The products are conceived just like 80 years ago, strictly handmade. It's strategic the choice of raw materials where they use only natural products and of high quality. The ancient and traditional recipes, and then processing purely artisanal, has allowed the "CAMPIDOGLIO" to continue forward in time reaching important commercial results beyond Sicily. The investments are oriented towards a production always and anyhow artisanal in order to implement the fundamental characteristics that are the basis of our mission: craftsmanship and quality. The products of the so-called "excellence", aimed at a high target customer, that we sell abroad are the classic Sicilian desserts:ARTISANAL SICILIAN CANNOLI, carefully with ricotta cheese, purely of sheep, coming from Nebrodi Park and the Madonie Park.The product, although sweet, shows a certain balance between the ingredients, leaving a pleasant and unforgettable aftertaste.AMARETTI DI SICILIA, traditional Sicilian buiscuits with Sicilian almonds and in different Sicilian flavors.
