A SELECTION OF OUR PRODUCTS
A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE
For Over 120 Years
Picchiani and Barlacchi was founded in 1902. Despite a century having passed, our creations still have the power to commemorate special national and international events.
The company is now in its fifth generation, led by Matteo Parri, supported by his mother Chiara and aunt Giovanna.
We are leaders in Italy in metalworking, creating long-lasting Made in Italy products following the Florentine tradition.
In our historical archive, we preserve over 400,000 molds that trace the highlights from the early 1900s onwards.
PRODUCTION STAGES
DESIGN
We study the creation of the product's design, which will be delivered to you in the form of a free sketch, conceived in an original manner and protected by Picchiani and Barlacchi copyright.
MODEL
After the approval of the design, the artist creates the plaster cast and manually works on the relief details to define them with the utmost precision, ensuring an excellent result.
BRONZE CASTING
The molten bronze is poured into the mold obtained from the plaster, and the "artistic model" obtained is then retouched and worked on by our engravers.
PUNCH
From the bronze model, a reproduction called a "punch" of the design is obtained through a pantograph. Subsequently, our engravers perfect it using burins. The punch is tempered to about 850°C to make it resistant to machine stress.
Die
By imprinting the punch on a soft steel form, the die, or mold, is obtained. Our engravers intervene once again to enhance the details lost during various stages of production. The die is also tempered.
Minting
Now it is possible to proceed with the minting of the product. At the end of production, the die is stored in our archive to preserve it over time and guarantee its durability.
GALVANIC FINISHING
The product is galvanically finished. Additionally, shading is enhanced through patination. A protective coating is applied to prevent alterations over time, making the object eternal.
QUALITY CONTROL
Once the production process is complete, the pieces are individually inspected and selected. Each product can be packaged inside a customizable case.
