1890 – 1906 PIETRO GENTILINI: VERGATO, AMERICA, ROME
Pietro Gentilini, the founder, was born in 1856 in Vergato, a small town situated in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.
Having work from a very young age as an apprentice in Florence and Bologna, he went to work in Latin America, gaining a wealth of experience and skills which would serve him well on his return home.
Pietro returned to Italy to realise his most ambitious dream: start his own business in Rome, the Capital of the Kingdom and of consumption.
