Dominic and Palmina Fraboni arrived in Hibbing Minnesota from the Ancona Region of Italy in the early 1900's. They
opened a Family Grocery/Deli where they and their 3 children, Leo, Angelo and Rose helped run the business. Leo
remained in Hibbing and opened a Meat distribution business. Rose helped
out with the family business in Hibbing and Angelo ventured to Madison, WI. |
In 1971, Angelo (top left) bought a local grocery store and began his own family business with his wife Gloria
(top right). All of Angelo's children worked in the business at one time or another. Eventually, two of his sons,
Garry (bottom left) and Steven (bottom right) took over operation of the business. In 1986, they opened another
location in Monona. |

Wood and is always a big hit at Madison's Art Fair on the square. Go visit Dante at Garden
