THE DAWN OF AN ERA
In the heart of the futuristic and roaring 1920s, a period marked by a mix of optimism and pre-war tension, Ugo Poggi's enterprise is born in Florence, at Via Strozzi 26R.
In an era where beauty and art challenged the gloomy omens of the future, Ugo Poggi inaugurates his shop, proposing himself as a bastion of elegance and refinement.
Specializing in the production of silverware, both antique and modern, unique porcelains and finely crafted crystal ware, the shop quickly becomes a point of reference for lovers of luxury objects, combining English and Florentine excellence in a single, splendid place.

GROWTH AND AFFIRMATION
Under the guidance of Ugo Poggi and his wife Mimmina, the company not only takes root in the cultural and commercial fabric of Florence but also begins to expand its influence. The vision of Ugo Poggi Senior, combined with the dedication and commitment of the couple, leads the brand to become synonymous with quality, sophistication, and authentic craftsmanship. These years see the birth of true pieces of art, objects that transcend their material nature to embody the passion and ingenuity of their creators.

THE PASSING OF THE TORCH
In 1961, a crucial moment marks the history of the company: Ugo Poggi Junior takes the reins of the enterprise. This passing of the torch is not only symbolic but also represents the continuity of a legacy of excellence. Years pass, but the passion for art, beauty, and quality craftsmanship remains unchanged, a beacon that guides the company through the decades.
OVER A CENTURY OF ELEGANCE
102 years after its foundation, the Ugo Poggi shop continues to be an emblem of luxury and refinement. The tradition of quality craftsmanship, the beating heart of the company, finds new life in the hands of artists and artisans who, every day, shape timeless objects. From the sparkling lights of crystal chandeliers to delicate Bon China dinner services, from Murano glass to antique silverware, each piece tells a story of dedication, art, and beauty.
THE ARTISTIC REVOLUTION: BETWEEN PAST AND FUTURE
In the spirit of a renewing tradition, Niccolò Ugo Poggi represents the third generation at the helm of the illustrious Florentine shop, proudly carrying forward the family legacy. In an era where the dialogue between past and future becomes increasingly fundamental, Niccolò has embraced the challenges of the new millennium, integrating the craftsmanship that has always distinguished Ugo Poggi with the most modern technologies, such as 3D language. This innovative approach has not only strengthened the bond with the historical clientele but has also opened doors to new international collaborations, demonstrating that respect for tradition can go hand in hand with the adoption of cutting-edge practices. Niccolò, with his vision, confirms that the future of Ugo Poggi is rooted in the ability to evolve while maintaining the values of excellence and quality that have guided the family for over a century.
