Bartolo was born in Lipari from one of the oldest peasant families on the island. After graduating from high school he worked for several years at a prestigious Aeolian hotel acquiring a wide experience in the tourist-receptive field. But its greatest ambition has always been to return to the origins of the lifestyle on the island, which has resulted in the renovation of an ancient family tenement that dates back to the nineteenth century. He committed to resume traditional agriculture, which the modern lifestyle was forgetting. He loves history and he doesn't miss to share with guests the culture and traditions of our islands.
