1902
The company was founded in 1902 by Eduardo Montemurro, in via S. Teresa a Chiaia 43, in the heart of Naples, carrying out a typically artisanal activity. The first half of the 20th century was a very difficult period for our company, which had to face the terrible years of the First World War (1915-1918).
1925
In 1925, Eduardo's son, Amedeo, took over the leadership of the company. They were also hard years: the economic crisis of 1929 and the Second World War (1939-1945) caused a severe downsizing of our company's activity and a bombing, at the beginning of 1944, caused the complete destruction of the shop.
1968
In 1968 Amedeo's eldest son, Renato, took over the management of the company, after having completed a long artisan apprenticeship, he gave a decisive impulse to the growth of the company with the acquisition of a large and important clientele, linked to the economic growth of the city in the twenty years of the 70s and 80s.
2003
Since 2003, Renato's son, Stefano, has taken over the management of the shop, after having completed a long period of apprenticeship at the most important goldsmith's workshop. In the early 2000s Stefano was also involved in the restoration and cataloging of the antique silverware of the Real Monte Manso di Scala and of the Real Arciconfraternita dei Bianchi allo Spirito Santo, of which he is still the curator.
2004
Stefano obtained, between 2002 and 2003, the following diplomas at the Italian branch of the Gemological Institute of America: Graduate Diamonds, Graduate Pearls, Graduate Colored Stones, Gem Identification and finally achieved the degree of Graduate Gemologist. Since 2009 he has been registered in the list of silverware, goldsmith and precious stones experts at the Court of Naples.
2006
Starting from February 2006, due to new needs for space and safety, we decided to transfer our business, after 104 years, to the prestigious headquarters in via dei Mille 59. The high professionalism, the taste, the ability to communicate with the customer and to always follow him in the right choice, make the shop in via dei Mille 59, a comfortable lounge for a refined and demanding clientele.
