On Saturday, June 14, in the evocative setting of the Guarneriana Library in San Daniele del Friuli, the event “Heart and Hands of a Craftsman – Prosciuttificio Prolongo: History” was held, organized by the Comunità Collinare and the Municipality of San Daniele. It was an event filled with emotion and pride, retracing the roots and heart of our family’s tradition, which has lasted for three generations.
The warm participation of employees, friends, customers, suppliers, and citizens made this evening an unforgettable moment. Prosciuttificio Prolongo is first and foremost a story of people, and the warmth of the audience confirmed how strong the bond with the community of San Daniele is.
Special thanks go to Dino Persello, “artisan of storytelling,” who gave voice, emotion, and depth to the story of our family and our work. With passion and skill, he recounted what has always guided us: respect for raw materials, attention to detail, and the importance of time.
I Petris created the perfect atmosphere, treating the audience to an authentic and engaging soundtrack with their accordions and violins.
Heartfelt thanks also go to the Municipality of San Daniele del Friuli and the Comunità Collinare for their valuable support and collaboration.

There is a special, long-standing and genuine way to savour Prolongo Dry-cured Prosciutto: our historic Emigrant’s Box. Originating in San Daniele in the 1950‘s, this little tin box was the way Friulian emigrants took a taste of home abroad with them.
The brightly coloured box, with its little tin-opener key, contains slices of dry-cured Prosciutto, which have been sliced and arranged by hand on accordion folded deli paper. A craft process that allows the product to be stored for up to a year (when kept in a refrigerator), perfect for long journeys or simply ready to be enjoyed at any time.
An authentic gift, with a taste of home
Genuinely vintage and steeped in history, it is the ideal gift for anyone who lives far away, anyone who loves tradition or simply for anyone who does not want to forgo a slice of real dry-cured Prosciutto di San Daniele.
Prolongo is one of the few companies that still makes Emigrant’s Boxes, thanks to an original piece of machinery from the 1950’s, passed down from Grandfather Giovanni. A rarity that makes each box a little piece of history, waiting to be enjoyed.
C’è un modo speciale, antico e autentico per gustare il Prosciutto Crudo Prolongo: la storica Scatoletta dell’Emigrante. Nata negli anni ’50 a San Daniele, questa confezione in latta era il modo con cui gli emigranti friulani portavano con sé, all’estero, il sapore di casa.
Il Prosciutto di San Daniele in una latta dal cuore friulano
La scatola, colorata e dotata di chiavetta apriscatole, racchiude fette di Prosciutto Crudo affettate e adagiate a mano su una pellicola piegata a fisarmonica. Una lavorazione artigianale che permette al prodotto di conservarsi fino a un anno (se tenuto in frigorifero), perfetto per affrontare lunghi viaggi o per essere gustato in qualsiasi momento.
Un dono autentico, dal sapore di casa
Genuinamente vintage e intriso di storia, è il regalo ideale per chi vive lontano, per chi ama le tradizioni o semplicemente per chi non vuole rinunciare a una fetta di vero Prosciutto Crudo di San Daniele. Prolongo è tra le poche aziende che ancora oggi realizza la Scatoletta dell’Emigrante, grazie a un macchinario originale degli anni ’50, tramandato dal Nonno Giovanni. Una rarità che rende ogni scatola un piccolo pezzo di storia, tutta da gustare.
