The Macelleria Paolazzi Luigi butcher’s shop is now run by the third generation of the Paolazzi family.
For seventy years, they have been processing meat coming from animals reared and fed in the Trentino-Alto Adige region.
Their story began during World War II. It was 1946 when soldier Luigi Paolazzi came back from the USA where he had worked as a butcher in the canteen of a concentration camp. The first thing he did once returned to Cembra was to settle down and get married with his fiancée. Together, they opened their butcher’s in 1951.
When Luigi retired, in 1984, the family business was handed down to his son Pietro. In turn, he left it to his youngest child, Luigi, who now runs the shop which initially belonged to his grandfather, Luigi “Baf”.
