Giacomo Corazza an important businessman from parma , between 1850 and 1870, on behalf of his father in law Carlo Gatti, bought the first Parmesan Cheese Factories in the town of Poviglio and there he built his home Villa Corazza.
In 1872 Giacomo Corazza and his wife Rosa Gatti bought the Tabiano Castle ( www.tabianocastello.com ), they soon restored the main building, the entire medieval village, and started their big farm, spreading over 700 acres with 27 farm houses, where they grew whatever necessary to feed the cows in order to have enough milk for their two Parmigiano Reggiano factories, one in the village, the other located in Bargone Longone, at the border of their property, so that they could get the milk also from other farms.
In the 1950’s his Grand Father Enrico De Vecchi, husband of Graziella Corazza, managed the very important cheese factories and piggery in Poviglio. At the beginning of the 70’s the helm passes in the hands of Uncle Daniele De Vecchi. In 1971 the young Francesco de Vecchi joined his first pork slaughter, his task was to hold the rope that secured the left leg of the pig to the cage.
Since he was only 8, he spent all his summers as guest of his aunt in in Villa dei Gigli (Salsomaggiore) under the hill of the family castle,. He was so attracted by the beauty of the landscapes, by the unmistakable taste of the genuine cuisine, and the by amazing friendship of local people, that in 1991 he moved with his family permanently from Torino to Salsomaggiore. Every winter Francesco with his friends Giorgio Sesenna and Macellino Cesarino Oriani used to slaughter several porks taking care to keep one for the family to prepare with care his aged hams, culatelli ,and salami.
From 2007 to 2011 Francesco is involved by the cousins Carlo & Anna Maria Corazza in the start-up and management of the “Resort Antico Borgo di Tabiano Castello”, an elegant Country Hotel located in the finely restored medieval village. Here, welcoming the guests in the estate that once was the big family farm, Francesco took great care to choose the best food quality by selecting from the best local Parmesan Cheese and Prosciutto factories. As part of this activity he would invites the guest to visit the manufacturing of Prosciutto and Parmigiano prepared in the ancient original way. All this very large experience coming from generations of background and from his acquired knowledge to select the best quality food, can now be used to offer the customers of Italian Food Valley all the products coming from Food Industry around the Parma Area.
