HISTORY

Maniago is a small city located in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of Northeastern Italy, where already during the Roman Age, an important production of blades and knives took place thanks to the specific valley’s position and the presence of water and iron. This old tradition that makes Maniago well-known in all over the world for its cutlery production, has been carried on also under the Venetian Republic. During that period work began on the making of halberds for the army, while in subsequent centuries production became more varied. Presently, within the municipality of Maniago, kitchen, hunting, sports knives are produced, along with industrial blades, gardening scissors and corkscrews.

Farfalli comes from this district: working from 1950, the company began its production with the manufacturing of pocket knives (gadgets for tourists). In the following years Farfalli both expanded its market to the foreign countries and began to develop the promotional articles. The production still grew up until the main activity that of corkscrew manufacturing. The company was later managed by Marino’s sons Giovanni, Mario, Germano and Armando. From year 2000, Farfalli is managed by Marino’s nephew Daniele.
