GESTIONE PICCHIANI & BARLACCHI SRL A SOCIO UNICO

Tradition, Made in Italy, Quality

Since the company’s official foundation in 1902, our origins, rooted in the Florentine cultural and artistic territory, have allowed us to continue the business, keeping it virtually unchanged for over a century.
We produce prestigious objects completely autonomously, without delegating any phase of the processing and without using foreign products of poor quality thereby developing and promoting the excellence of Made in Italy.
When we accept your project, we do not limit ourselves to merely shaping the metal, but we take care of every detail, giving life to an immortal object that reflects your value 100% and which is able to celebrate the importance of the occasion.

MEDALS ARE OUR HISTORY

Since the foundation of Picchiani e Barlacchi in 1902 more than 120 years have passed: over a century of culture and art embodied in artistic and commemorative plaques, crests, trophies and in many other objects that recall indelible events at local, national and international level.
I don’t need to say it, our medals prove it: the Picchiani e Barlacchi archive contains over 300,000 mints that reproduce in the metal the national and international history from the early twentieth century to the 2000s, from the monarchy to the republic, through difficult periods such as the one of war and Nazi-fascism, and including the need to address challenging times, such as the crisis due to unfair foreign competition.

ABOUT THE OWNER

My name is Chiara Montauti and I am the owner of Picchiani e Barlacchi.

Before me, my father held this role and before him a family member and so on since the company was founded in 1902.

Today, working together with me in the family business is my sister Giovanna and my son Matteo, as well as a team of professionals who have worked with us for many years, some for over 60 years.

THE OBJECTS SPEAK FOR US

I could describe my business and that of Picchiani e Barlacchi through many words that describe the company, but I prefer to let the objects speak for themselves which, over the years, have come to life in our laboratories and which even today maintain their value unchanged.

Such as the Targa Florio, which has been commissioned to Picchiani e Barlacchi since the first event of the prestigious race in 1905. The highly coveted award of the most famous Italian car race in the world is still today minted in our factory near the historic centre of Florence.
