The joint history of Nuova Simonelli and Victoria Arduino
The Simonelli Group is the result of a long journey that began in the heart of the Marche region and continues thanks to the same passionate and committed people who today bear the company's name.
It all began in 1936 when the founder of Orlando Simonelli created his first espresso machine, which he named after the year in which it was made.
The "1936" coffee maker wastechnically advanced for its time and Simonelli became a pioneer in the world of coffee machines and coffee innovation.
Nuova Simonelli
In 1969, the company "Simonelli" wassold and renamed "Nuova Simonelli". However, the change of ownership did not stop the development and innovation and the company continued its growth.
Victoria Arduino
The company Victoria Arduino was born in the early 1990s thanks to Piere Teresio Arduino, who was inspired by a steam locomotive train and wanted to achieve coffee brewing in the fastest way possible.
In 2001, Victoria Arduino wasacquired by Nuova Simonelli, securing its position in the market for high-tech and luxury coffee machines, and the manufacturers' joint journey began.
