History

The craftsman’s workshop “Antonio Ciulli e Figlio” was established and named by its founder, Antonio Ciulli, in the artisan quarter of Florence over 100 years ago.

Since then and for 3 generations, the Ciulli family has been carrying out the foundryman’s craft with a thorough know-how acquired only by the daily practice of this handicraft work, allowing artistic invention, creation and art to show itself.

The first items made by the foundry were bronzes, jewelry and tableware of small and medium size.

In the 40s and 50s “Antonio Ciulli e Figlio” made also its first creations for historical movie sets (Barabbas, War and Peace, El Cid, etc.); the collaboration with the movie industry went on throughout the 90s.

In the 60s and 70s, during the economic boom, the demand for complementary furnishings and bigger and higher-level interior lightings increased, and together with it the production of a wide range of accessories that today are such an important part of the company's offer.

During the 80s “Antonio Ciulli e Figlio” established itself in the Italian market, while in the 90s its internationalization efforts helped it to make its mark at international level, mainly in the Middle East and Europe.
