Decades promoting a culture of high-quality espresso and gourmet coffee

A Story of Three Generations

The Mazzucco Family

Giuseppe Mazzucco's story is one of unwavering passion and determination. With a bold spirit, he left his homeland to seek opportunity in America, ultimately devoting his entire life to Café San Antonio, his beloved company.

Through his tireless efforts, he succeeded in spreading the Espresso culture far and wide, making it the industry standard. With the steadfast support of his loving wife and three devoted children, Giuseppe held a prominent position as a leader in Venezuela's food service market for decades, earning him widespread acclaim and respect.

His legacy lives on through his son. Today, the new Mazzucco generation continues to promote the art and culture of espresso and coffee, honoring their father and grandfather’s legacy.



Milan 1946

Back in 1946, a 13-year-old Giuseppe Mazzucco fled the ravages of World War II and landed in Milan, where he began his journey in the art of preparing and serving espresso coffee. That apprenticeship became the foundation of everything that followed.

Venezuela

When Italian espresso experts like Giuseppe Mazzucco emigrated to Venezuela in the 1950s, they found no espresso machines — but they did find best-in-class Arabica beans on the highland plantations of Los Andes, so they created 100% Arabica premium blends for the introduction of the espresso machines to restaurants, bars and bakeries (Panaderías).

No one did this better than Café San Antonio, which became — and remains — the leader in Venezuela's foodservice coffee market, serving more than 6,000 customers with San Antonio Espresso Beans.

As Espresso machines became so popular around the country, people wanted to enjoy that same high quality at home, so Café San Antonio also grew into supermarkets — the one brand offering retail shoppers the same high-quality coffee it sold to the Panaderías.

The early years


After the end of World War II, the town of Minturno in Italy was left in ruins due to extensive bombing. It was during this chaotic period that a young 13-year-old boy named Giuseppe Mazzucco found himself in Milan, seeking shelter in a cafeteria. The humble cafeteria soon became his home, where he spent four years mastering the art of preparing and serving espresso coffee. In 1949, at almost 18, Giuseppe boarded a ship to Venezuela, where he began his journey as a grocer, delivering goods with the scooter bike he had brought with him. However, it wasn't long before he opened his own restaurant in Guayana City — a restaurant that stood out for its use of an Italian espresso machine.

To procure the necessary coffee beans, Giuseppe had to make trips to Caracas, where he encountered two Italian brothers who had started a small roaster called Café San Antonio — Goppion Brothers. His relationship with the brothers blossomed, and soon, Giuseppe became a partner in Café San Antonio — Hermanos Goppion. Their coffee distribution business grew quickly, and before long, they had extended their reach to most of the country.

In Venezuela, where arabica coffee beans were plentiful and the demand for Italian espresso drinks was high, the Goppion brothers became excellent mentors for Mazzucco. He learned from the best and soon became a master blender himself. After a decade of success, the Goppion brothers decided to sell their part of the business and return to Italy. That's when Giuseppe joined forces with two other Italian coffee roasters to move to a larger production plant with the name Café San Antonio.

Over the years, the San Antonio Coffee Group has continued to promote the Italian culture of premium quality espresso coffee, catering to restaurants, bakeries, and even supermarkets. The family business has grown into a solid legacy, keeping alive the tradition that Giuseppe Mazzucco had started all those years ago. The same espresso coffee that Giuseppe learned to prepare at the old cafeteria in Milan continues to be the hallmark of the Mazzucco family's commitment to excellence.
