No matter where your beginnings, you deserve to follow your dreams of a better life and create a legacy for future generations.
Brandon Vallorani, accomplished entrepreneur and founder of Vallorani Estates, believes anyone can build upon humble beginnings and pursue the finer things in life. He recounts his own American Dream success story in his new book, The Wolves and the Mandolin: Celebrating LifesPrivileges In A Harsh World.
The wolves and the mandolin story has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. A great-uncle was stuck in a tree surrounded by wolves. He played his mandolin to pass the time, and the beautiful music calmed the wolves and my great-uncle made it away safely, says Vallorani. This tale reminds us that beauty can be found even in the midst of growling wolves and that even the fiercest wolves can be calmed.
The Wolves and the Mandolin follows the Vallorani familys modest beginnings in Italy, shares legend-worthy stories of their first years in America, and culminates with Brandons success as an entrepreneur. Vallorani provides his philosophies in business and management, and the path taken to create a quality brand of hand-curated luxury products, Vallorani Estates.
The Wolves and the Mandolin also reveals:
  • Valloranis five tips for selling any product online
  • Why its important for entrepreneurs and executives to take the time to enjoy lifes privileges
  • An entrepreneurs guide to dealing with administrative wolves without draining money, time and happiness
  • Looking beyond: How to move on and up when youve hit a ceiling
  • How to learn to celebrate lifes privileges in a world of harsh wolves

As an eternal achiever and positive thinker, Brandon is always conquering new territorybut while doing so, encapsulating his life, his ancestors, and his future into a unique brand of living.
Its a good life in a harsh world, and in The Wolves and the Mandolin, Brandon Vallorani is proof and inspiration that a life worth celebrating is possible. Luigis pursuit of the American Dream still lives within his great-grandson. Much as Luigi stood his ground during battles in Benghazi and Sciara, Brandons perseverance and old world determination has enabled him to maintain his entrepreneurial spirit and succeed while dodging his own bullets in the form of two recessions. This journey is as much about a familys history as it is our nations. - Steven A. Castleton, Recipient of U.S. Army Outstanding Civilian Service Medal
Brandon Vallorani takes us on a Godfather-esque journey through his ancestors lives and how the lessons theyve learned still apply to our everyday lives today.

Luigis pursuit of the American Dream still lives within his great-grandson.

My mother told me to never run with the herd because it is usually going the wrong way. Brandon Valloranis ambitious book, The Wolves and the Mandolin , is a reminder that if your goals are big enough and you are audacious enough, you will find the strength to keep persisting until you succeed. You can live the life that God intended for you to live.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

S o quipped the fictional Italian America hitman Pete Clemenza in a notable postassassination sequence famously depicted in Francis Ford Coppolas cinematic adaptation of Mario Puzos The Godfather . Is this just some Hollywood ploy inserted for levity after a brutal murder? Or is there something deeper and necessary happening in this assassins admittedly bentbut still humanheart? Should ones work and life take the time to include small enjoyments... like cannoli?

Brandon Vallorani masterfully demonstrates that despite the inevitable presence of formidable wolves (and our own bent hearts), there must be intentional times devoted to cultivating joy in small thingsthat hard, entrepreneurial work on the one hand, with enjoying good wine, fine cigars, and family on the other hand need not be fierce competitors.

As a man of faith, Vallorani recognizes that life is not just eternal but also must be abundant right now. Its certainly an Italian thing, but really it should also be a human thing stemming from how we were designed, thus it is an indispensable thing. But how? And why does this fuel the spirit of the entrepreneur?
