In presenting the company                                          I  feel particularly involved : I personally met Roberta , Nicola and their three children .

During a press- tour organized by           ( PR agency of Mantel 1926) , I spent a whole day in Pistoia . In this context  I met the people, the environment , the places of production and the spirit of Mantellassi.

There are two basic elements that characterize this company : a large corporate spirit and creative , and a very valuable support and artistic craftsmanship  

.I was welcomed into the home of Roberta and Nicola as an old friend and I was able to visit their palace, where they masterfully incorporated many pieces of their collections.

Roberta, perfect hostess, spoke with everyone and introduced the company's strong bond with the people and the surrounding area.Then we went together to the company, where production takes place.

It ' was a very important and interesting, I could see the various stages of processing, the materials used, the cutting templates, ovens for the painting. I'm always very attentive to the details of construction : a piece of furniture is an architecture in miniature and must be well built.

I could see that what is written in the presentation of the company is true : skilled artisans of Tuscan tradition, were at work : carvers, gilders, lacquers, upholsterers.

The formal design research is in constant dialogue with the tradition and craftsmanship . Fabrics are also one of the strengths of Mantellassi 1926.

I spent a pleasant and instructive day in Pistoia , in the company of gentlemen of the Press, Marilena and Simona for OGS and all the entourage of the "big family" Mantellassi.
