The desire to offer unique and special products has driven the company to conduct constant research, both in the use of alternative materials and in rediscovering artisanal production techniques that made our country famous in the past (e.g., Byzantine mosaic). The Picador sample collection includes approximately 4000 items.

I have a diverse background, with a Florentine father and an American mother. Since childhood, I've been captivated by the world of jewelry, which I began to explore through my father's business. In 1973, he founded a company in Los Angeles specializing in importing Italian-made jewelry to the United States.  Graduating with honors in Economics and Commerce from the University of Florence, I immediately joined the family business. My role involved researching and developing new products. In 2003, I acquired shares in Picador. Even though I have how worked over 25 years in the industry, I retain an unwavering passion and enthusiasm for jewelry.   I enjoy experimenting with new crafting techniques, and, above all, I like to rediscover traditional artisanal methods, seamlessly integrating them with modern technologies to give them a contemporary edge.
