Artisan Story
La Mietitrice — The lid features The Virgin of the Fields by American painter Charles Courtney Curran, DiCamillo’s signature holiday portrait.
DiCamillo Bakery, Niagara Falls, New York — Tomaso and Addolorata DiCamillo grew up in Italy’s Abruzzo region and opened DiCamillo Bakery in Niagara Falls in 1920. They baked bread in basement ovens and delivered it to neighbors by horse-drawn wagon. Four generations of the family have run the bakery since. In 1979 their biscotti were picked up by fine department stores, and DiCamillo became a national name. In 2022 the bakery was inducted into the New York State Historic Business Preservation Registry. Biordi’s own founder, Emilio Biordi, came from Castelli — also in Abruzzo — which makes this a natural partnership between two Abruzzo-rooted family businesses.
