HISTORICAL TESTIMONIES

ghiberti800

 

Stories, Events, Places, Works, Characters that
have traced the life of the members of the

Torrini Goldsmiths Lineage, around the
long path traced by the trademark, from
the beginning to today.

A succession of emotions, of passions that
the "signum" conceived and registered by
Jacopus de la Scharperia in 1369 in Florence
with the Guild of Cuirasses Makers,
Locksmiths and Blacksmiths, has left
behind it like a long white trail in the infinite sea.
