About Us

"You may have the universe if I may have Italy" - Attila, Prologue, sc. 1

Chi Siamo (About Us)

Growing up in Canada, but in Italian households, we lived in two worlds. As part of a generation belonging to immigrant parents, our lives were always intertwined with the traditions of our families, and the customs of the new world. And over time, we found that as we grew, so did our roots, keeping us deeply connected to our Italian heritage.  

As we continued to immerse ourselves in Italian life, food, and culture, it became clear to us we simply wish to live out the request in Verdi's Attila. We leave the universe to others if only to have Italy.

And so it is our inspiration to live all things Italian that led us to create G & B Emporio, a place to share our inspiration; a place where you too, may leave the universe to the rest, if only to have Italy.

We hope you enjoy your visit, and that you join us on our journey!

Grazie mille,

G & B
