Angelo and Jennifer Caponi, founders of the Caponi’s Cannolis School of the Arts, proudly introduced the energetic summer camp group. Angelo notes, “I believe we have been able to thrive over the years because our primary focus remains on building relationships with our students and their parents. We run our studio like a family and our motto is “Once a Cannoli, always a Cannoli.”
Angelo proudly continues, “We invested everything we had to make the center work, but when Covid hit, we almost had to close our doors. The community rallied behind us, so we pushed forward and we didn’t give up!”
