Alfonso Cevola’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I'm a third-generation Italian American who first picked up my father's camera as a teenager—a moment that set the course for a creative life I'm still living six decades later. But my story begins even earlier, in my grandfather's vineyard in California, and continues through summers spent working harvests with Italian relatives in Italy during my youth.
I studied photography, art, and filmmaking at Santa Clara University, dreaming of a career behind the lens. But I graduated into a world reel…

Reprise: Fathers and Sons

from the archives Great-Grandfather Assuntino Luigi Cevola in Palermo - 1890's I never knew my Great-Grandfather, Assuntino, but I met him, thirteen years after he died in Palermo, in 1971.

I was a single dad in my late 20’s and necessity plunged me into a career in wine, one that I was very good at, in sales and marketing.
