The Salvadori Arte Artistic Foundry was founded in 1964 in Pistoia, Tuscany, by Enrico, his brother, and his brother-in-law. In 1964, the company was overtaken by a foundry established in the 19th century. The company transferred its customer portfolio, equipment, plants, and know-how to the new owners through a one-year handover process.
Subsequently, Enrico, his brother, and his brother-in-law parted ways, and Enrico continued to run the business with his wife. His son Giacomo and his brother Gianluca joined the company in 1991 and 1992, respectively, and became partners alongside their father and mother in 1996.
The Salvadori Arte artistic foundry produces works of art in bronze, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, and other alloys. It uses the traditional, age-old method of ‘lost wax’ casting.
The Salvadori family has run the business since the mid-1960s. Their techniques and knowledge have been passed down from the ancient metal works of Pistoia.
Some works produced by Salvadori Arte are housed in the most famous museums and art collections and in countless squares and gardens in cities and metropolises worldwide. On commission, the foundry has the skills and techniques necessary to create customized works of art. The company operates in efficient workshops on the ground floor of a single industrial hall, which has 700 square meters of indoor and 600 square meters of outdoor space. The facility can execute large-scale works, as the shed has suitable lifting equipment to create sculptures up to 6 meters high. In its outdoor areas, it is possible to go beyond this height.
