De Rosa...

[catulle]

Would anyone please let me know if De Rosa remains an independent manufacturer? If so, has the company remained in the same hands since its inception? Thank you.

i've been to his shop three times but i'm fuzzy
on the lineage. de rosa means of the rosa in
italian atmo. ps - man can that cat smoke.

I believe that the company is still owned by
the De Rosa family, and that it is being run
by Ugo's sons.

It's very much a family business, but I don't know if all the investment
money is theirs. Ugo and his three sons are very much the company and
Ugo is still there every day, from what i understand.

Thank you so much, gentlemen. I'll remember your cooperation the day Scarlett asks me if I have any good looking friends for her single girls friends, atmo. Bless y'all.
