The first Antoniazzi to take the trip to Wales did it the hard way. Andrea Antoniazzi walked from Bardi in Northern Italy to Wales taking him 13 months to complete the journey and arriving in 1898 with the secret of great ice cream. This is the significance of the camel is the pilgrimage. The first Antoniazzi cafe was opened in 1934 which proved to be a great success in the town and thrived selling coffee and ice cream until the coming war which then brought a sharp wind of change. The grandfather was arrested and placed in a prisoner of war camp, it was difficult times..... Due to the hostility at the time the name of the cafe was also changed from Antoniazzi to the Penguin Cafe.
