In the early 1920's, the son of Italian
immigrants residing in Ohio, joined the U.S.
Marines and was stationed in Nicaragua.
During his tour of duty, the handsome
soldier met the beautiful daughter of a
successful Italian businessman. They fell in
love and after his tour of duty was complete,
he stayed in Nicaragua to wed. With the
dowry of a coffee farm and the family
tradition continues today, through three
generations, with the grandsons of Señor
Conti. We have now brought our family
traditions to the United States to share them
with you.
