Allow me to introduce Carlotta, a remarkable Italian woman who embarked on a lifelong pursuit of her dreams long before transforming them into reality. From age 18, when she navigated life independently, Carlotta tirelessly sought her purpose, embracing various jobs as stepping stones toward her ultimate destination. Gradually, her vision crystallized, first taking shape within her mind and then manifesting into a tangible form.
She devoted herself to relentless studies, continuously enriching her knowledge, all in pursuit of bringing an ordinary yet extraordinary product of unparalleled quality to the shores of the magnificent United States – Gelato, the authentic Italian Gelato she holds dear to her heart. Since childhood, Carlotta’s palate had savored Gelato, relishing its indulgence two or maybe even three times a day, envisioning a Gelato that encapsulated her essence.
Carlotta envisioned a Gelato that remained true to its roots, crafted with genuine and high-quality ingredients, free from artificial additives. Anxiety swirled within her as she nervously prepared to taste her first batch of Gelato, questioning herself: What if it fails to meet her lofty expectations? However, her fears were vanquished as the Gelato emerged from the creamy, airy churner and was tantalizingly delicious. Yes! It was what she had envisioned! Her mentor, Filippo, stood by her side, offering unwavering support and propelling her toward her current position.
Though the road ahead remains long, Carlotta cherishes that pivotal moment when her entrepreneurial journey came to life on a fateful Halloween day in Boca Raton. Gazing at her food truck and savoring a scoop of Gelato, she still finds it surreal. Those acquainted with Carlotta understand the immense hurdles she surmounted to stand where she is today – the sacrifices, unwavering dedication, and unyielding focus that ensured she never lost her way.
Amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic, when countless reasons to surrender presented themselves, Carlotta clung steadfastly to her aspirations. Even during the two years when travel to America seemed impossible, she toiled diligently to keep her dream alive. Despite being far from her beloved family, friends, and cherished siblings, Carlotta draws strength from her dear nieces, who unknowingly give her unwavering support daily. In addition, she has encountered remarkable individuals in her new homeland whose presence has been nothing short of a blessing. And now, the door she yearned for has swung open! However, it marks just the beginning – the initial stride in a marvelous journey that lies ahead, brimming with infinite possibilities.
