History
[edit | edit source]In 1902, Vittorio Fasano, an Italian immigrant came to Brazil and opened a first restaurant on Avenida Paulista (named Brasserie Paulista) which served Milanese food. The name later shifted into Restaurante Fasano (Fasano Restaurant) and was operating successfully until the 1930s. Over the generations they expanded and opened several locations including an own Italian bakery.[11] In the 1980s, Gero Fasano dropped out of the University of the Arts London, returned to his native country and took over the family business. He transformed the regionally organized restaurants company into a multinational luxury hospitality brand.[12]
