The Zamani
Family began their adventure into the flower business upon migrating to the
United States in 1978. Our father decided to open a business hoping to support
our family and create a strong foundation for our families' new life in the
states.
Flowers became a part of the picture as my father tried to bring a little bit
of home to the Americas for my mother. Our mothers love for flowers was
redirected in to the flower shop-where she was able continue caring for her
flowers and plants as she did back at home, while creating beautiful artistic
designs that have evolved through the years-while maintaining Fay's personal,
classic touch.
Our first florist opened in Hollywood, California in 1978. We catered to the
Silver screens best. Our flower designs frequented the homes of Movies stars
such as Lucille Ball, Gregory Peck, and Robert Wagner throughout the years as
do several other stars today.
After being located in Hollywood for several years our family decided to
relocate to the Historic Ritz Carlton Huntington Hotel and Spa in Pasadena,
California. Our current location was founded by Dean Zamani. Dean's artistic
abilities and spirited creations fused with Zamani tradition has allowed
Piccolo to flourish into the florist it is today.
Dean Zamani is the President and CEO of Piccolo Designs. It is Dean's eclectic
vision and limitless imagination that has provided Piccolo with its' second to
none quality and it's nationally acclaimed designs.

1989.
