Chicco

About Chicco:

Pietro Catelli, Artsana founder and president, was born in Como on April 14, 1920. Awarded the honorary title of "Cavaliere del Lavoro", Catelli has always centered his career on human relationships and a contagious love of his work. In the post-war years he managed to take advantage of the synergy between product quality, brand identity and the power of communications. He established Artsana in Como in 1946 to produce and sell hypodermic needles, thermometers and syringes. The Chicco brand was born in 1958, along with Catelli's first son, Enrico.
