Gourmet mourns in Milan for the death of Gianni Angelo Stoppani, for over 40 years the soul of Peck with that showcase that has become a symbol of high-quality food in the world. The luxury delicatessen was founded in Milan in 1883 by Francesco Peck.
Angelo Stoppani was also president of Fipe-Confcommercio. Born in 1937, Angelino, the first of seven brothers, started working at a young age in a delicatessen in Brescia before arriving in Milan.
His first store opened in 1958 and Peck was acquired in 1970, which he, along with his brothers, including Lino, the current president of Fipe Confcommercio and the Milanese association Epam, systematically grew, thanks to agreements with foreign countries that reached, in addition to European countries, Japan, the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates. The company, which also specialized in high-level catering and wine service, employed over 130 people with turnovers of over 25 million euros. In 2013 he left the company, which was later acquired by the Marzotto group.
In 2003 he was appointed Knight of Labor for "the great work, sacrifice, and initiative, thanks to which, despite the total lack of family economic resources, he managed to succeed in a completely different sector from his father's craft, with exclusive high gastronomy products".
The funeral will take place on January 5th at 11 in the church of Santa Maria at San Satiro, a few hundred meters from the main headquarters of Peck on Spadari street.
