Buccellati Holding Italia (since 1919)

Mario Buccellati opened his first store in Milan in 1919. Soon after, he established himself as a master goldsmith, expanding to Rome, Florence, and later New York in 1956. After Mario’s death, his sons continued running the business. In 1971, his son launched the new Gianmaria Buccellati brand as well. Today, the Buccellati name is still renowned as a maker of jewelry and watches.
