Mauro Lorenzi, the founder of Lorenzi Milano, proudly continues his family’s traditions, opening a new boutique in Montenapoleone. Lorenzi Milano represents the fourth generation of the Lorenzi family, the same one that opened the historic bottega on Via Montenapoleone under the name G. Lorenzi in 1929. Over the years, the shop became an important reference point to the Milanese, and a must-visit location for the brand’s devoted international clientele.
When Giovanni Lorenzi founded his cutler’s shop in 1929, Via Montenapoleone was an elegant residential zone in the city centre, where Milan’s aristocracy and upper middle class lived and went about their daily activities. The storefront was soon known for its refined, exacting selection of high-quality products.
The iconic shop closed in February 2014, permanently discontinuing the G. Lorenzi brand. At precisely that moment, Mauro decided to continue the art and craft that had been in his family for generations, developing the kind of expertise that comes only from passion, hard work and years of experience in the industry.
Today, the location has shifted a few meters to a new space in historical Palazzo Bolchini, framed by the elegant, noble buildings of beautiful Piazza Meda, site of Arnaldo Pomodoro’s famous bronze disc. The boutique was remodelled by architect Filippo Dini, who maintained the soul of the historic shop in Via Montenapoleone while also interpreting it with a more contemporary vision.
