Our history

A story 175 years
in the making

We have been making beer in Italy since 1846, and we preserve our history as a blueprint and inspiration for the future

For many years, history has been central to our identity: we cherish our historical heritage, we protect it, and we spotlight it through out Historical Archive and our company museum, as well as at exhibitions and events.

The story

The stages of
the company’s history

From the founding of Francesco Peroni’s company in Vigevano until to the present, through the wars of the unification movement, industrial expansion, world wars and the boom that followed: the development of a company that has witnessed so much of Italy’s social and cultural history.

Traveling exhibitions,
