Celebrating the life of Tony Genovese. β€οΈ
Go on, have a read...π₯°
Growing up as a Romeo I have a strong bond with this beautiful family going back generations and yesterday I had the honour of putting together Tony's wake for the Genovese family.
Just before Tony retired from Albany Industrial Services, the civil works company he built from the ground up, he decided to plant 1000 olive trees, then he thought why not plant 5000 more. This was the start of Genovese Olive Co.πΏ
Along with many other passions of Tony's this olive grove was the heart and soul of family gatherings. Camp outs, quad bikes, kids running amok together, good food, good people, good times, it just doesn't get any better than that.
Tony's breath taking olive grove was the perfect place to have one big gathering in honour of his life.
This is the first event we've put together and while it's not our usual gig, it was an amazing experience. From getting the brief one week before to being the last to leave on Saturday I felt honoured to give this beautiful family time to just be together.
Thank you to my helpers Simon, Mum, Zia Anna, Jonno and Papa.β€οΈ
