father of the future prime minister of Italy, Francesco MeloniHe did not go unnoticed during his stay on La Gomera, the third smallest island in the Canary Archipelago with a population of over 22,000. As a serious businessman, Franco, as he was called in the island’s capital, wanted to lead an elite life with strong bets on investments. An accountant by profession, Meloni settled on an island outside the Canary Islands’ sun and sand tourism circuit between the late 1970s and early 1980s. Crazy Horse came alone to his sailboat like a stranger. But he invested in buying three houses in the historic center of San Sebastián de La Gomera.. In one of the old houses, the restaurant Marqués de Oristano was opened. Oristan is the capital of the province of Sardinia, where Francesco, who died of leukemia two years ago, was born. By using this noble title, he wanted to impose a certain air of distinction on his property. And it succeeds. Previously, he carried out a process of conscientious restoration that required another substantial contribution of money.
His most prized acquisition on the island was the 17th-century house where he lived, steps away from the iconic temple, the Church of La Asunción. Another detail of the aristocratic distinction Franco wanted to give to his life in La Gomera. He also bought another house on Calle del Juzgado, where he founded the Fin Fan nightclub. The three properties were in one of the most central blocks, giving an idea of Meloni’s economic capacity, or at least her audacity as an unapologetic investor. In the mid-1980s and early 1990s, with both businesses, El Italiano revolutionized hospitality and nightlife in the capital city of La Gomera. The restaurant has raised the level of the gastronomic offer in San Sebastián. And Fin Fan was simply the first nightclub, “fashion place” on the Island. “The builders of the time used to come to the restaurant and the money was moved,” neighbors said. In the past, some company dinners were held at the Marqués de Oristano. “Along with the Parador de Turismo restaurant, it was the most elegant of that time and it was a privilege to go there”. Word of a few residents.

Francesco was also seen good at creating jobs at La Gomera. Outside of work, he was a prudent person who did not go to extremes in any way, did not flaunt large luxury cars. Marquess of Oristano and Finnish Fan “marked a generation”. Then, Franco Meloni started a romantic relationship with a woman from La Gomerawho has two children from a previous marriage and belongs to a wealthy family. He and his two children now live in the Balearic Islands.
Although at first it may seem like something arrogant, Those who know him describe him as a “good person”. “He was a good man, at least for me,” says a neighbor who treated him but preferred to keep his identity. He invited his acquaintances or friends to private parties at his house. Businessman, communist and atheist. that’s what i brag about.
In the early 1990s, the good image of their business was not enough to guarantee profitability. And it was ruined. Sold all three properties. Franco’s debts led to legal action filed by a local lawyer. Meloni left La Gomera with her partner and two children. While staying on the island, no one associated him with criminal acts. Francesco’s house was in front of the church’s Puerta del Perdon, but It was his daughter, Giorgia, who never forgave him.; first, for abandoning his mother, sister, and three-year-old him. And later, because of love and lack of love He said he perceived it from her during her annual visits to La Gomera.
Giorgia spent several summers with her father in the mid-1980s.. According to him, 1988 was his last trip to the island. Around this time, Giorgia attended swimming lessons and learned to swim at the yacht club in the capital, La Gomera, according to a neighbor who knew Franco and his daughters.
In this club, the sisters also took part in comedies and other events. Those who treat her describe Giorgia as “a happy and fun girl”.. But even then, it was noticed by the collected testimonies, little love and attention that the father dedicates to his daughteryes, according to Meloni, they never saw each other again after leaving La Gomera.
