Saiwa Italian breakthrough, this is the news and in a period of economic uncertainty, courage must be rewarded and encouraged! The Saiwa confectionery company comes from afar, with a particular name, created by none other than Gabriele D'Annunzio. The “Vate”, which was rather greedy for the company's biscuits, proposed not only to simplify the name, using only the company's initials, coining the acronym Root; but he also contributed to some advertising campaigns for the brand.
