On 22nd May 2013, an event took place in Gela (Sicily) to showcase the Faustyno F1 red vine tomato organised by Gautier Semences. The demonstration greenhouse is still open for whoever is interested.The event was held in the company owned by Gaetano Amato, one of the most expert producers in the area who, with the help of son-in-law Gianfranco Iudica and of sons Vincenzo and Luciano, produces red vine tomatoes twelve months a year. The greenhouse was set up in contrada Mignechi, a strategic area for the production of such tomatoes.

The participation of producers, technicians and growers was the perfect recognition of the commitment put in by Gautier Italia and Gianfranco in the organisation of the event.
Gautier Italia's Faustyno runs for the role of protagonist among the TYLCV-tolerant rend bunch varieties this year too.
