Rocco Commisso’s story is atypical. After reuniting with his father, who came to the United States hoping for a better life, the boy of Marina di Gioiosa Ionica faced the obstacles of life as an immigrant. His perseverance, hard work and intelligence made the difference.
It’s not easy to adapt to a new culture and new traditions, especially when your family takes you away from your adored Calabria at the young age of 12. However, life has surprises, and the story of Rocco Commisso is full of key moments that shaped a boy in love with soccer into a successful entrepreneur in the land of opportunity.
