That of Jacopus Turini de la Scharperia, a brave goldsmith and armor craftsman, is a strong retrospective image that can still give you the shivers: in 1369, he descended from the countryside of Scarperia into to Florence to have his Signum registered by the Craftsmen’s Guild and seek his fortune. Indeed, Jacopus could never have imagined that the enterprising undertaking he had embarked on would usher in a beautiful, more than six centuries-long story, nor that the goldsmith’s dynasty that he had inaugurated would today be officially recognised as the oldest family-managed workshop in the world, as proved by William O’Hara (Director of Bryant College’s Institute for Family Enterprise in Smithfield), who ranked this Florentine trademark fourth in Italy and eighth in the world in terms of longevity.

Torrinis’ jewelry collections and gold and silver artworks continue to fascinate all and sundry, from the United States to Russia, from East Asia to the old Europe. It is estimated that currently, on the world stage, the gold works of Torrini are over 100,000. All belonging to private collections.
