Luciano Bernardini de Pace
He has devoted more than four decades of his life to the world of publishing, working for the world's largest publishing houses.
His passion for communication found fertile ground in Salento, where his ethical, cultural and passionate roots emerged strongly.
In 2004, he purchased a building, abandoned for more than 10 years, in the town square of Bagnolo del Salento.
He restored it with care and passion, restoring it to its former glory by making it a Palazzo Bernardini de Pace.
Luciano is also passionate about cooking and very keen to research the quality of the material: on the website luciano.market one of his creations, “Pasta Coricata,” can be found.
Luciano's other passion is the sea: he has fished in all the seas of the world and knows the most sophisticated techniques to find fish even where it seems there are none. He is a life member of IGFA and sports catch-and-release techniques.
luciano.market
luciano.market and Pasta Coricata are two brands born from Luciano Bernardini de Pace's passion for natural and healthy foods.
In the production of Coricata Pasta, there is obsessive attention at all stages of processing to ensure that the 100 percent pure Senatore Capelli wheat produced on his Agricultural Society's lands maintains
its nutritional and flavor characteristics, even when processed into a finished product.
The field is in the agro of Scorrano, south of Lecce in the heart of Salento; the soil here is red, rich in minerals and protected by a barrier of wind-blocking cypress trees that prevent the ears from falling when the sirocco or tramontana blows hard.
Camilla Bernardini de Pace
Camilla, a proud mother of two amazing sons, was born and raised in bustling Milan. From an early age she cultivated a great passion for horses, so much so that today she is a certified instructor. When she is not with her students or in the company of her four-legged friends, her heart flies to the sunshine of Salento, where she spent unforgettable summers with her grandmother Isabella from whom she picked up the secret traditions of the most hospitable Puglia.
Thanks to her extensive travels and two years spent studying in England, Camilla speaks impeccable English. She firmly believes that it is the small details that make an experience truly special. With her natural empathy and hospitality, she manages to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere, whether it is during a riding lesson or a pleasant conversation over a good tiramisu.
Her goal is for the Palace's clients to experience a truly unique stay. Camilla takes care of every aspect of their vacation, from the planning to the small daily touches, to make sure every moment is memorable. Whether it's arranging a breathtaking excursion or suggesting the perfect restaurant, her goal is to ensure that all guests feel special and pampered throughout their stay.
