Since 1600 Giusto Manetti Battiloro has been producing gold leaf in Florence (Italy): fifteen generations of the Manetti family have accompanied and sometimes anticipated the evolution of production processes for the transformation of ingots into gold leaf.
Giusto Manetti Battiloro operates in the fields of Architecture, Design and Furnishing, contributing to the restoration and construction of extraordinary places such as the Palace of Versailles, the Hermitage Museum, the Rockefeller center, the Prada Foundation, and many others. Manetti’s gold leaf proudly shows the “Made in Italy” brand worldwide and serves as an ambassador for the tradition and innovation of the finest Italian craftsmanship.
