It was back in 1949 when Italo Zoffoli started his craft activity in the centre of Rimini.

The beauty of Italo Zoffoli globes, finely handcrafted, didn’t go unnoticed, indeed. On the wave of this appreciation, between the fifties and sixties Italo had an original idea and - as history teaches us - absolutely winning: in his laboratory in Rimini, in those years, the first bar globes were born, and in 1963 won to this imaginative craftsman the aspired award 'Tornio d'oro', assigned by the Museum of Science and Technology of Milan.

This is how the national and especially international success of the Zoffoli brand was born, as it began exporting its globes first to France and Germany, and then to the whole world.
