Discover the Legacy of Savinelli Pipes – 150 Years of Italian Craftsmanship
Since 1876, Savinelli pipes have represented the pinnacle of Italian pipe-making artistry. When Achille Savinelli Sr. opened his revolutionary smoking articles store at #2 via Orefici in Milan’s heart, just steps from the iconic Piazza Duomo, he didn’t just create a shop – he founded a legacy that would define what a premium pipe should be.
Where Passion Meets Tradition
That original Milan store, still thriving at its historic location today, quickly became more than a retail space. It transformed into a sanctuary where passionate smokers gathered to share stories, exchange wisdom, and celebrate the art of pipe smoking. This spirit of community and craftsmanship remains at the core of every Savinelli pipe we create.
Artisan Excellence from the Beginning
Achille Sr.’s vision extended beyond retail. He personally designed each pipe, collaborating with master artisans in the renowned Varese district north of Milan. This marriage of innovative design and traditional craftsmanship established the foundation for Savinelli’s reputation for excellence.
A Family Legacy Across Italy
The Savinelli name spread beyond Milan when Achille’s siblings opened their own pipe store in Genoa’s prestigious Galleria Mazzini. This expansion created a devoted following across Italy and cemented Savinelli pipes as the choice of discerning smokers nationwide.
Innovation in Our DNA
In 1881, Achille Savinelli Sr. showcased his entrepreneurial spirit at the Esposizione Industriale Italiana, demonstrating the forward-thinking approach that continues to drive Savinelli today. That same innovative instinct flows through every generation of the family business.
