Vincenzo Amata

Vincenzo Amata is an Italian mango farmer who transitioned from a career in clothing sales to agriculture after discovering the fruit during a visit to Sicily. He founded PapaMango, a seven-hectare mango orchard in Messina, where he cultivates multiple varieties of mangoes. Amata's shift to mango farming reflects a broader trend among Italian farmers adapting to climate change, as traditional crops like olives and lemons become less viable.
