He buys his animals when they weight 20-30 kg and then he fat them with high quality and natural products, such as chestnuts. This is important because Giolitti is interested in the quality of his products, such as his baked ham, baked shin and salami. His work every day in the firm and every week he slaughter seven-eight pigs
