The Talamona brand was born in the 70s from the work of Cesare Talamona, a well-known craftsman from Oltrona (VA), who contributed to making the craftsmanship of Lake Varese known throughout the world with his “Pipatt”. Talamona immediately established itself as a brand abroad for its creativity and the generous dimensions of its pipes.

Once Cesare retired from the market at the venerable age of 85, not wanting to end his work of "high Italian craftsmanship", he thought it best to entrust everything to Paolo Croci who in 2007 purchased the brand and in 2010 began a limited production of pieces respecting the wishes of Cesare Talamona.

Even today the pipes are of high quality, entirely handmade and generously sized. In Talamona pipes it is always possible to recognize Paolo's creativity and hand.

As it was for Caesar, also for Paul "every pipe has a soul and whoever buys it finds himself".
