La Marzocco S.r.l. had its origins in Florence, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and the home of Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Brunelleschi and many other great artists who created some of the most famous works of art in the world.

Originating in this city it was only natural that La Marzocco would instinctively assimilate and reflect a passion for beauty, creativity and, why not, genius.

Founded in 1927 by Giuseppe Bambi and his brother Bruno, La Marzocco became well known throughout Tuscany right from the start thanks to its attractive, high quality coffee machines, cleverly devised and designed, and manufactured with care and a special attention to detail.

It was La Marzocco that in 1939 developed and patented the first coffee machine with a horizontal boiler, now an industry standard. This was the first of a series of important innovations later to include the dual-boiler system with saturated brewing groups.

Over the years La Marzocco has received much recognition for its products, including:

• Prize for Quality and Courtesy;
• The International Andino de Fomento;
• Diploma of participation in the Decorative Arts Show at the Triennial Exhibition in Milan.

Tradition and a passion in the search for quality and superior reliability are factors which have always distinguished and interested the entire company. Even today, highly specialised personnel still supervise each stage in the production of every single machine, hand-crafted to order for each and every client.

In this way, Giuseppe Bambi's great experience and professional pride live on after almost eighty years.
