In the mid 1990’s Gina Molinari embarked on a crusade to discover her ethnic roots and following her dream she arrived in the Tuscany, Italy. She remained as a guest at the renowned Terme di Saturnia, Europe’s most exclusive destination spa embracing all of its luxuries including its thermal pools, spa services and exquisite dining.
The rich Italian diet disagreed with her delicate constitution and she became desperate for a remedy. Dr. San Giovanni, the director of the spa, suggested that she try an authentic Italian healing beverage, tisana explaining that the herbal infusion had been part of Italy’s tradition for hundred’s of years and was highly recommended by Saturnia’s medical staff. To her surprise the aromatic elixir worked brilliantly and as a result she decided to bring the Italian custom to the doorstep of a new frontier, America.

Arriving back in the States she shared her discovery with family and friends and due to popular demand imported the Tisana. Unfamiliar with the Italian language, she invited Claudia Dal Forno to work with her as a liaison and shortly thereafter, Hansle Guichardo, an IT specialist, for his computer expertise. Together they worked on their vision; importing these authentic blends to the United States but with no experience they met with some professional challenges. Ultimately overcoming them in March of 2000, Gina Molinari founded Scarangello Company and was officially in business! This project became Gina’s new dream and so the journey began.

During this time Gina had been struggling with her health and after searching was diagnosed with a serious condition, a 6’’x 5’’ tumor in her right rib cage; requiring immediate medical attention, the project waited. In May she had to undergo major surgery and took the Tisana with her to the hospital. The hospital staff was astounded at her resiliency despite her condition; she gave credit to her conscious lifestyle and of course her Tisana. After months of re-cooperation Gina was ready to return her attention towards her business and in January of 2001 the company imported its first shipment; the products were officially launched into the American spa market. In October 2002 Gina incorporated, hence her business became known as Scarangello Company Inc.

In March of 2003 the company debuted “The Healthy Tea Collection” at the Extracts Expo and once again found itself the center of attention. There, Gina met several critical contacts that would spearhead the company in a new direction. As a result of these contacts in July of 2003 the tisane were published in “The Truth About Beauty” by Kat James as well as trade publications. Additionally Gina secured her relationship with Susan Yunker, R.N., of Gurney’s Inn, an oceanfront resort and spa in Montauk New York where the collection is being partnered with specific spa services and guests are educated through “Tea Talks”

Today the products find themselves gaining recognition in the Spa industry and it remains Gina’s passion to help people live a more quality lifestyle through the healing power of Tisana. Salute!
