PrimaLuna©ProLogue Eight
Herman van den Dungen: PrimaLuna in Italian language is “First Moon”. My
grandfather was the rst “Herman”. My grandmother, an aristocratic lady in a
small Dutch village, had a special name for her husband: “Maantje”, which means
Little Moon (which is now also the name of our small dog), van den Dungen. The
people in the village adopted that name, and having a strong accent, they soon
called him “Maontje” van den Dungen. My father’s rst name was Cor, but in
the village it was of course “Cor from Maontje van den Dungen”. I was of course
“Herman from Cor from Maontje van den Dungen” …… etc. That’s why I thought
of First Moon as a brandname and that’s why the logo is how it is ……
Loris Arrigucci: PrimaLuna believe it or not ... I discovered a small town located
50Km north of Milano called Primaluna!!! Please get yourself a map from Italy.
You’ll nd Primaluna town near the upper-right corner. It is located 50Km north of
Milano near the Lake of Como. This should eliminate every doubt regarding “ital-
ian” origin of Primaluna name. I’ve read the “history” section of the Primaluna
village web site and found the following (literally translated):
One probable interpretation of the name of the village comes from latin “Primum
Lumen”, which means “First Light” of Christianism, since the very rst evidence
of Christianism in this region dates 495 Annus Domini. “First Light” translates into
“Prima Luce” in Italian and this seems very interesting to me: PrimaLuce (First-
Light) is the rst light that we, hi- lovers with small budgets, can see in this
world of darkness populated by way too expensive esoteric gears
