2012
Decides to change his working life mired in IT, flying to London to attend where he attends a full immersion course in 3D graphics and VFX at Escape Studios. Among the streets of London, he becomes passionate about photography with his first camera reflex, a Nikon D3200. In the meantime, he is blown away by the world of specialty coffee as well as his brother Matteo.

One fine day he woke up with the name "Peacocks" in his head. Taken from the combination of the London experience and the brothers’ surname Pavoni in English! Just in time to start their specialty coffee roastery adventure.
