The gold and the silver engraving have very old origins in the city of Firenze and refer to the school of Benvenuto Cellini, who was the first among the great master engraver.
In the beginning of twentieth-century, this tradition, which has been handing on for centuries near Ponte Vecchio, has been inherited by Renzo Cassetti, himself master engraver; he collected it and he developed under a unique firm.
