FRUITS AND VEGGIES: OUR FAMILY TRADITION. FOR FOUR GENERATIONS

In the 1940’s our grandfather Franco Meglini and his father Giovacchino worked in all the markets of Mugello. The long experience in retail has remained in our DNA.

Mauro Meglini – Franco’s son and today’s CEO of LUNICA – entered the family business in 1966, soon followed by his brother Roberto. In the mid 1980’s Pier Luca Angeli, Mauro’s and Roberto’s brother-in-law, joined the family business. LUNICA was born out of the union between the solidity of Meglinis’ and Angelis’ dynamism. Today the story continues with the new generation and a simple aspiration: give value to the agricultural excellences of Mugello, Tuscany’s green heart.
