Our Roots

Our Roots

Menarini has been in Florence for more than 100 years, in the very same place where the company Headquarters can be found today.

The origins of the company date back to the previous century, to 1886, when the “Farmacia Internazionale” opened in Naples. The company moved to Florence in 1915, most probably due to the fact that it was close to an area where, at that time, there were several suppliers of glass bottles and vials which could be used for medicines. A story which has bound Menarini, the city of Florence, and the Florentines together ever since.

Ours is a story made up of passion, quality, and a sense of union but it is also a story that has led us to forge strong ties to the artistic and cultural heritage of the city of Florence, birthplace of the Italian Renaissance.

Florence means Art and together they become a wonderful backdrop which has always accompanied our company throughout the years.
