Pierpaolo Ruta

Owner Antica Dolceria Bonajuto

Pierpaolo Ruta is the owner of Antica Dolceria Bonajuto in Modica and personifies the sixth generation of an ancient and prestigious dynasty of "ciucculatari" (chocolate-makers).

In 1992, he abandoned his university studies and, together with his father Franco, decided to carry on the longstanding family business.

The decision was made mainly to prevent the disappearance of a fragrance: the fragrance emanated by his grandfather, the fragrance of chocolate.
