About San Giuliano – Pride of Sardinia

The origins of Domenico Manca S.p.A. date back to the early 1900’s when the Manca family owned and operated a small olive oil mill within the ancient walled town of Alghero. The olive oil was sold at the market and within the Italian mainland.

In 1975 the founders grandson, Domenico took on the family business and by the mid 80’s they added other products to their line up.

It is well known that the oldest and most traditional olive oil producers have obtained excellent oil from a great range of olive types and varieties. As a result and since 1992, San Giuliano has received more than 260 awards, including the recent addition of three gold and one silver award at the New York International Olive Oil competition. They have won more awards than any other company producing olive oil.

Important to note these olive oils come in glass bottles.

A a select group of talented students from the prestigious design school, have re-imagined San Pellegrino into a series of illustrations that take you on a journey through the 120 year-old story of the brand. For this digital exhibition, the students were asked to prepare a set of three artworks, to be seen in a continuous row on San Pellegrino’s Instagram wall, with each set playing out a different element of the brand’s story. The illustrations run across four broad themes: Iconic Imagery, Food Experiences, Core Values, History & Heritage.

Launching on October 7th, this project will run throughout October with special creations being revealed each day on the San Pellegrino Instagram Account.
