The Cassetti brand was born in 1926 from the creativity and entrepreneurial mind of Renzo Cassetti, a disciple of the valuable tradition introduced by Benvenuto Cellini of Florentine master engravers, goldsmiths and silversmiths. Renzo, the typical artist, only signed unique pieces, some of which became of historical relevance, like those you can still find in the Vaticano decor. In his workshop, close to the Ponte Vecchio, many famous personalities used to pass by wishing to be able to buy a one of a kind piece handmade by some of the best silversmiths of the time working alongside him. In the 50’s Maria Grazia, daughter of Renzo, makes her way in the company, bringing along her feminine touch and eccentricity. Soon after, the first pieces in Silver with Crystal and Silver with Porcelain were made, an authentic innovation for the market. The small workshop wasn’t enough anymore, so they had to move to San Gaggio, just outside of the historical city walls, on Viale dei Colli, where we could hold our rapidly growing enterprise. It was under the attentive guide of Andrea and Maria Grazia that we had our industrial consecration. They introduced modern technologies and strategies, always keeping in mind the taste for Florentine craftsmanship.
