The took care of his grandfather Guido (that in the country everyone called her Lumino, saw that it was small, but he brought light wherever he went), one of the dealers most well-known of the Nevianese. Luigi Notari, Gigi for friends, decided, after retirement, to devote himself to the enhancement of the brown Campora, which is an excellence and a unique specialty. "This can only arise here from the us, the special features of the land – explains Notari – worth promote it and enhance it". He is convinced to the point that he decided to expand the production, planting other trees in the grounds of his property. With the hope that others do the same and follow his example. "Once the people there supported himself with brown – continues Notari – All the families had a number of trees of this wonderful fruit. At the time of harvest, in October, they were going to sell the product throughout the province. At the end of the second world war, for economic reasons, many have sold the wood from their woods and the area is depleted of trees. The wood of these plants was much in demand for its special qualities by the companies of paint. To cope with the poverty rampant, the heads of the families that needed to feed their wives and children were forced to divest. Now things are changing and many of the inhabitants of Campora began to replant brown".
