 The Story of Nannucci
Our founder, Oreste Nannucci came from Florence where his family had run a successful Dyeing, Laundry and Cleaning Works for generations.
Oreste was a frail and sensitive boy and larger boys often picked on his. Eventually he approached Don Alfonso, a powerful and respected man in the Italian community. The Don agreed to offer Oreste protection and in return Oreste agreed to make sure that the Don always looked impeccable.
For many years Oreste tended to the Don's clothing and shoes and while doing so he grew fond of the Don's beautiful only daughter. The two lovers spent hours talking about many, many things. He shared with her, his desire to travel to South Africa where he would one day open his own Dyeing, Laundry and Cleaning Works...and thus began the Nannucci legacy..... The company's rich history continues....
