The Dufour are an entrepreneurial family from Genoa. The family originated in France and settled in Turin during the French Revolution. We are not sure why. Lorenzo Dufour founded a sugar factory in Genoa (1830). The family relocated there. They pursued a range of varied economic activities in different commercial sectors amd made a great deal of mony. Nowadays in Italy they are mainly known for their sweet treats: jams (Big Frut Gelée), chocolate bonbons (Carousel), the extra-special Morabon and Selz Soda, as well as a wide range of filled candies. We have found photos taken in Varazze, close to Genoa, where the family had a summer mansion, probably during the 1920s. We see images of the family walking in the hills to a place called Le Faje. We don't know the names of the man and children, probably girls, in the photo nor when it was taken, probanly in the 1920s. Unusually for a wealthy family at the time, the girls are walking in simple summer frocks and bare feet.
