Paladini Enterprises

Achille Paladini (who I was named after) was an immigrant from Ancona Italy. He came to America looking for the land of opportunity and landed in San Francisco in 1865. With little education but with drive and forsight, he set out for the American Dream. One day while fishing for his supper, he caught two fish on one hook. A tired gold miner provided to purchase the other fish, and as they say. The rest is history! Achille Paladini eventually went on to be known as The Fish King He became close friends with A. P. Giannini, the founder of the Bank of Italy, which later became the Bank of America.
