<br /> Although the Marengo family was originally in the ship building industry, today they are headed towards the medical spa industry. “In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Marengo family was in the shipbuilding industry in Venice,” says Jojo Marengo, who is the historian of the family. “At the end of the 17th century they extended their commerce to Syros in Greece and Marseilles in France, two important shipbuilding centers in the Mediterranean at the time. Today, the Marengos still maintain contact with various branches of the family all over the world. In early eighteen century the Ottaman Empire contracted with Venice to help protect their fleet in the mediteranian sea and in return gave them the island of Syros to establish a port and ship building facilities. Venice was building one battleship per day.<br /> <br /> <b>Dr. Jean Marengo</b> (1841-1917) was the nephew of Archbishop <a class="skimwords-link" data-group-id="0" data-skim-creative="10203" data-skim-product="0" data-skimwords-id="1171572" data-skimwords-word="yanni" href="http://www.amazon.com/Yanni/e/B000APY7JK" target="_blank" title="Shopping link added by SkimWords">Yanni</a><span style="position: absolute;"></span><span style="position: absolute;"></span> Marengo and Grandfather of <b>Jojo Marengo</b>. A physician and diplomat, Dr Marengo was a representative of the French government to the Ottoman court. The Ottoman kingdom was one of the most powerful empires for the previous four hundred years, and ruled an empire that stretched from the Danube River in Austria to Yemen at the edge of the Arabic peninsula. During his numerous trips in the Empire, Dr. Marengo collected many eastern remedies and exotic preparations that have unique healing characteristics. He shared his vast knowledge and collections with his colleague Dr. Louis Pasteur. “In fact, in the Pasteur Museum today there is an Ottoman carpet that that has the inscription ‘Gift from Dr. Jean Marengo to his friend Louis Pasteur’,” states Jojo.<br />
<br />
Dr Marengo helped build and administer military hospitals for the Ottoman empire. Two hospitals are still in operation in Damascus Syria and Turkey.<br /> <br /> <b>Archbishop <a class="skimwords-link" data-group-id="0" data-skim-creative="10203" data-skim-product="0" data-skimwords-id="1171572" data-skimwords-word="yanni" href="http://www.amazon.com/Yanni/e/B000APY7JK" target="_blank" title="Shopping link added by SkimWords">Yanni</a><span style="position: absolute;"></span><span style="position: absolute;"></span> Marengo</b> (reprinted From The Catholic Encyclopedia) “The Catholic hierarchy in Greece took hold with the Archdiocese of Athens, established in1875, when Bishop <span class="skimwords-potential">Yanni</span><span style="position: absolute;"></span><span style="position: absolute;"></span> Marengo of Syros (pronounced in Greek Marangos also Giovanni in some Italian documents) took up his seat there, in spite of the protest of the Government. King Otho of Bavaria, the first king of regenerated Greece, was a Catholic. In his reign the Catholics were few. But arrangements were made that the Catholics could have a place of worship wherever they existed in sufficient numbers. After Athens became the seat of government, in 1834, an abandoned Turkish mosque was given to the Catholics as a place of worship. After the lapse of some years, in 1875, archbishopric was established in Athens. The first Archbishop to occupy this See was Yanni Marengo followed by archbishops, Zaffino, De Angelis, and Delendas. Marengo was born in the Aegean Island of Syros. <br /> <br /> <b>Antoine (Andoni) Marengo</b><br /> Dr. Marengo’s son, Antoine Marengo, dedicated his life to art and literature. He was a novelist who also wrote an interactive encyclopedia about world rulers, leaders and generals, from Attila to Zenobia. He was also a painter who painted mostly church frescoes. He also developed a shorter version of shorthand. He married Maria Zarghanis of Greece, and had six children. Many Marengos held the post of "Zimarkhos" (administrator) of Syros. The three sons of Antoine entered the beauty industry.<br /> <br /> <b>The Marengo Brothers</b><br /> The Marengo Brothers – <b>Jojo, Jean Claude and Antoine</b> – are cosmetologists, estheticians, designers, authors and publishers. They were marketed in Europe as the image-makers of royalty. They arrived in the United States with Queen Fredericka of Greece. Jojo accepted an offer from <span class="skimwords-potential">Saks Fifth Avenue</span><span style="position: absolute;"></span><span style="position: absolute;"></span> in New York City to take on the position of artistic director. Antoine accepted the position of artistic director for <a class="skimwords-link" data-group-id="0" data-skim-creative="10201" data-skim-product="0" data-skimwords-id="404951" data-skimwords-word="elizabeth%20arden" href="http://www.elizabetharden.com/" target="_blank" title="Shopping link added by SkimWords">Elizabeth Arden</a><span style="position: absolute;"></span><span style="position: absolute;"></span> on Fifth Avenue and Jean Claude replaced Kenneth at Lilli Dache, the famed millinery designer. The Marengo's following included Diane Vreeland, then senior editor of Vogue, The Duchess of Windsor, Mrs. Senator Jacob Javits, Princess Pignatelli and other women leaders of the time.<br /> <br /> Together and simultaneously, the three brothers were the art directors of the three most famous fashion names in the country. Leaving New York for Beverly Hills, Jojo and his brothers were soon recognized as the originators of what is known today as the “Day Spa.” The Marengo Institute in Beverly Hills was the first establishment in the United States that offered services never before available in one facility. Built in 1965, the spa consisted of a skin care center, body rejuvenation division, self-realization department, implantation facility, yoga studio and hair salon. Their clientele consisted of the who’s who in the social scene and the movie industry.<br />
<br />
Many Marengo Spas were established in California; San Francisco, LaJolla, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and Dana Point, Marengo Spa in San Francisco. Other spas were built in Ohio’s Cleveland, Columbus, Strongville, Medina, Westerville and Murietta.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Marengos are the originators of many innovations in the
beauty industry. In April 1965, they opened the first Marengo Institute in
Beverly Hills. By 1984 there were 6 Marengo Institutes open in San Francisco,
La Jolla, Long Beach, Dana Point and Irvine. <br />
<br />
In the Sixties he introduced the "Body Wave", a permanent wave
process marketed for Elizabeth Arden under the label of "Perm
Ardena". The "Body Wave" revolutionized the perm business which
until then was a hair process used exclusively by senior citizens. It is today
the industry's standard name for a loose perm. <br />
<br />
In the Seventies, The Marengo introduced the first facial peel masque in the
industry. The process, marketed under the name of Peel O Matique, was sold in
most upscale department stores in the United States (Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman
Marcus, Nordstrom, Kaufman, Lazarus, etc.) A "Women's Wear Daily"
article stated, "Market sources estimate Peel O Matique gross sales to top
$8 million..." Today "masque" is a standard treatment in the
beauty regimen of millions of people worldwide. <br />
<br />
"Their process works with exquisite speed, comfort and efficacy ... the
results could be dazzling," "Vogue" magazine says of Marengo. <br />
<br />
In 1980 the Marengos introduced the first cellulite control clinics in the
United States utilizing his invention Pneumo-patter, a cellulite reduction
apparatus. The apparatus dispensed air under pressure to stimulate topical
circulation in the cellulite-infected areas of the body. <br />
<br />
Newspapers from Boston to Seattle joined in the chorus of praise for Marengo
and their institute. The "Washington Evening Star" added, "Marengo
invokes the muses of beauty, medicine, and the arts." <br />
<br />
"The Marengo's spent years in Hollywood giving stars a bi-annual skin peel
at $3,000 a time," "Harper's Bazaar" said. "They eventually
decided women who couldn't afford it shouldn't be deprived." <br />
<br />
In 1981 they introduced "Beautex" the first art magazine for the
beauty industry. Beautex was the vanguard publication that gave the start to art magazines in the beauty industry worldwide.</span></div>
<br />
The Marengo’s were the originator of the first cosmetic mask “Peel O Matique” sold in department stores nationwide including Saks, Neiman Marcus and Macy's. In 1971Women's Wear Daily estimated their gross sales to be $8 million for that year. <br />

By March 2009 a month later, over 3,000 artists from all over the world joined World Art Foundation (WAF) sites.<br /><br />In March World Art Foundation finalized the legal documents and applications as a non profit organization LLC as a service organization to help artists find galleries and agents to promote their work. The documents are presently with the California Secretary of State.<br /><br />A man living in South Africa, started a negative campaign posting false allegations on Brajane's blog (a woman who lives in Belgium and who has a blog on Indian news). This man made many false allegations. Some of the allegations stated that Jojo Marengo and his expo is a scam and that there is no Brea city in California, that there is no Umbrella publications and that the expo is a ploy to scam artists. Also allegations that the Brea Gallery is against WAF and on and on. The attention the South African drew a copy cat blogger from Manchester UK and together continued The attacks until April 2009. All the negative blogs are the work of these 3 people.<br /><br />On April 10th 2009 WAF opened a 5,100 square feet Gallery in 1555 E Imperial Hwy in the Brea Plaza in the city of Brea. Soon after the negative attacks stopped.<br /><br />Although the attacks stopped, all blogs got posted on search engines like Google. Unfortunately these posting will always be there as they cannot be removed.<br /><br />Of course The World Expo 09 took place as scheduled in June 7-9 2009 in Brea, Fullerton and Laguna Beach California, with the participation of over 400 artists from 53 countries in 5 continents. World Expo 09 became the largest expo of this genre ever held in Califonia.<br /><br />The Mayor of Fullerton issued a proclamation in the name of the city council and the citizens of Fullerton welcoming World Art Foundation to Fullerton. copy of the proclamation on <a href="http://worldartfoundation.org/Expo_09.html" onmousedown="UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this), "f644a7ae72199ad5a0d951e7d7292f9b", event)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none; ">http://worldartfoundation.org/Expo_09.html</a><br /><br />A city councilwoman form Laguna Beach represented her city at a World Art Foundation preview dinner at Brea's La Vie En Rose restaurant<br /><br />A fund raiser has held in June 6th at the Miranda Gallery in Laguna Beach to benefit the World Art Foundation sponsor's fund.<br /><br />World art foundation sponsored all but one of the over 400 artists by paying the $500 for each for the artists' exhibiting fee. Never such generosity was ever extended by a country's cultural ministry or non profit organization for a single event. Actually besides the shipping expense, the artists did not have to pay to exhibit at the world art expo 09 in California.<br /><br />The Brea Gallery received thousands of emails and calls asking for the location of the World Art Foundations gallery in Brea. They posted on their site a caption asking them to go to our website.<br /><br />During the expo educational functions by the World Art Foundations took place a the Fullerton Museum<br /><br />World Art Foundation, presently with over 50,000 artists members in their cyber groups, is considered the world's largest art organization. WAF continues to grow daily. In 2010 Expos are planed in many countries and many states in the US.<br /><br />for more information:<br />www,worldartfoundation.org<br />www.umbrellapublishng.com</div><div
