CREATIVITY & INNOVATION; HOMEGROWN &
HANDCRAFTED IN ITALY​

Innovation, imagination, design and professional performance are the driving forces in this company and a measure of the philosophy of long-term vision and progress that is deeply engrained in the company’s culture. All employees work in harmony as essential  gures in new development projects, sharing a passion for excellence and igniting a  re that has breathed life into Fulgor Milano’s latest genesis: Sofia.

In June, 2015, Gianni Meneghetti, managing director of Fulgor Milano, presented a new professional range to a large international audience. This audience included major distributors from around the world and the theme that evening was dedicated to “Local Excellence”. The Vicenza area is one of the oldest in Veneto and is recognized historically for its tradition of elegance and refinement.
