Label / history
The name preserves a Piccini family memory. Angiolo Piccini’s theatre-loving father was affectionately nicknamed “Hamlet” because of his devotion to Shakespeare. As a child, Angiolo found the name difficult to pronounce and called him “Papa Leto”; the resulting name Papaleto recalls the father of the family’s founder and the familial spirit of the company.
