Zoffoli Globes - Creating a world to be discovered
Conceptualized & created in 1949 by Italo
Zoffoli, the head of a family of expert craftsmen in Italy, Zoffoli
originally became famous for its expert creation of miniatures, and its
excellence in cartography. Italian media came to notice the superior
craftsmanship of the Zoffoli product line in 1963, and it wasn't long
after that the wonderful world globe designs became major focal points
of some of Italy's most prestigious shops in Milan, Turin, Florence and
Naples.
With the growing success created by the excellent
product line and media exposure, the company continued to grow. Italo's
sons soon took over operations of the company, which in turn expanded
into more robust manufacturing operations, yet while still retaining the
same eye to detail and passion as Italo's original creations.
Since its very beginning over 60 years ago, Zoffoli has dedicated
particular attention to the choice and processing of its materials, so
as to offer globes for a discerning market, where customers are
attentive to detail and fascinated by journeys, whether real or
imaginary.

There are craftsmen in our territory
who, year after year, become synonyms of what they produce. With their
patience and knowledge, these men work learning from the experience of
their fathers and, in turn, transmit their knowledge to their sons.
Generation after generation, memories and suggestions are handed down
making our products richer and full of charm. Charm is the element of
distinction of our products and thus they are appreciated all around the
world. Sacrifice and hard work are the key elements in guaranteeing such
result. But nothing can be achieved without a sense of passion. It is
this combination that makes our products unique. We firmly believe in
our ability to stimulate the desire to discover and explore every corner
of the earth, by simply tracing a line with a fingertip or with a
glance. The world, always available, always on hand.
Zoffoli's dream has always been to combine the ancient
craft of globe-making with the latest technological solutions, combining
new materials with traditional construction methods. We feel that
Zoffoli has succeeded in its aim -- to create a modern version of the
geographical globe that remains true to the concept of elegance and
excellence in a classical crafted object.
