GENOESEPRIDE

Living and working in the historic center of Genoa made us understand

how important it was

to preserve and disseminate those aspects of culture and art of the town

sometimes forgotten by the Genoese themselves.

We created a series of objects inspired by our tradition

that may be interesting for those who live in this city

and for those who visit it.
