MADAME ZUCCHERA's story:

In that can I danced for a long time with two fabulous suitors: milk and coffee.
Sometimes they would come together and that was really exciting for me. They were true gentlemen, who made my days wonderful!

From Mister Caffè I learned taste, refinement and elegance, as you can see.
Mr. Latte taught me to take care of my skin and enhance my hair.

The pearls? Those are a family legacy. And the precious ecru lace collar was inherited from my ancestors of the "Zuccheri" family.

When that "magic" wind arrived that woke me, it was like a tsunami that shook everything! Even the old tin in which I had been resting for decades was overwhelmed by the miraculous event. So now I am all of them: tin, sugar, milk and coffee - and now they call me Madame Sugar. I was born in a can of sugar grains and coffee drops.

If you invite me I will gladly come to your house. I am good and "sweet" company, even if I always have my "head in the clouds". - Madame Zucchera
