Giuseppe was born in Condofuri (Reggio Calabria, Italy) on the 8th of November of 1935. He left school early to join the family business and aid his ailing father, later becoming a successful serial entrepreneur. In his professional life, he was sharp businessman and a natural leader who loved deal-making and mechanics. He had a strong passion for his work to which he would commit countless hours. In his personal life, Giuseppe was a risk-taker who enjoyed riding motorcycles, driving fast cars and engaging in spirited political debates. He was dedicated to his family and tried to always be present and helpful. He relished family gatherings and took great joy in spending time with those he loved.
