legacy & living lineage
Corazón was started in homage to founder Giovanna Brandi’s mother, Gioia Tama, a flamenco dancer, folk herbalist, textile sculptress, and singer/songwriter who gave her life in support of the arts. Gio’s father John Brandi, open-roader and eternally compassionate mischief maker, carries on the family lineage today through poetry, art and social uplift .
