SINCE 1866 TRADITION NATURE EXPERIENCE

""in 1866 Antonio Brisighello had the fortunate idea of contacting Manufacturers of medicinal products and Chemists to ask then which herbs could interest them, offering to provide them with some. On receiving orders for Chamomile and Elder Flowers, for Marsh-Mallow, Calamus (Reed) and Valerian roots and for the leaves of the common mallow and for other plants, he readily set to work together with the rest of this family and with several farmers of the village to pick the abovementioned plants"; In 1879 Antonio Brisighello's son Peter joined alongside his father, sensing intuitively the great future in store for the industry begun by his father, and gave it great impulse, thanks to the knowledge acquired by visiting both Italian and foreign firms. In this way Peter Brisighello's products soon acquired a certain renown, reaching Lyon, Nimes, Marseilles, and Paris in France; then in Germany, Spain, in Austria-Hungary, in Switzerland and in Belgium ";" (from "History of the Herbalist's shop" Tip.Longo,1910).
