Oscar Farinetti is the founder and creator of Eataly. He started out at UniEuro, a small appliance and food retail store, in 1978, focusing on electronics and transformed UniEuro into one of the largest electronics retailers in Italy, opening 150 stores between 1978 and 2003. In 2003, he sold UniEuro and dedicated himself full time to Eataly and in 2007 opened a 30,000 square foot store in Turin, Italy, that combines elements of the lively European open market and a learning centre. Oscar’s aim is to make high quality Italian foods available to everyone, at fair prices in an environment where people can shop, taste and learn.
