Local soda makers hope product makes a splash
Frank Napolitan and Paul Vultaggio were having dinner with their families at an Italian restaurant in Las Vegas when it occurred to them that there were no Italian sodas available to complement the meal.

Both are longtime Las Vegas residents and are familiar with the local market. Vultaggio started out selling shirts at kiosks in casinos and Napolitan, a graduate of Western High School, has worked in the construction industry for most of his career.
Both are Italian-Americans and they wanted a beverage that would bring the flavors they experienced in Italy to this country. Read full story:
