| In the mid
1990s 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, Europes 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 Italys tradition for
hundreds of years and was highly recommended by Saturnias 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 Ginas 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 6x 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 Gurneys 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 Ginas passion to help people live a more quality lifestyle
through the healing power of Tisana. Salute!
