La Brasiliana was founded in Ferrara, thanks to the intuition of Carlo, the great-grandfather, who spotted a few coffee-roasting machines in the warehouse of a friend and fellow charcuterie seller. Without hesitation, he bought them, confident of their future usefulness. 

As the war ended new beginnings followed, and Carlo and his three sons, Giuliano (affectionately called Nino), Onesta (Tina) and Corrado, decided to display one of those machines in the window of their shop in the heart of the city of Ferrara, marking the beginning of a new era. 

The inviting aroma of freshly roasted coffee began to fill the streets of the Jewish ghetto, attracting numerous curious passers-by and coffee lovers to the Govoni's shop. Success was both immediate and tangible, with an increase in all the shop's sales, not only within the shop itself but also in the surroundings of the area of Ferrara, thanks to Ailù, the company's very first delivery boy, who delivered products first by bicycle and then by apecar, wearing a characteristic hat and a red uniform with gold buttons.

Tina Govoni, now ninety-nine years old and considered the best saleswoman in the shop at the time, continues to share these memories with deep love. Ailù, who became such a beloved symbol of the family as to be pictured in the company's first logo in a stylised version, represents the strong affection and deep bond that ties the family's history with the birth and development of Torrefazione La Brasiliana.
