The story of Giardini di Toscana begins in 1942 in Bibbiena, a medieval village nestled in the Casentino, one of Tuscany's best-preserved valleys. It was there that Giovan Piero and Emma Ducci opened their first shop, specializing in the artisanal creation of perfumes and pomades. Silvia Martinelli, Giovan Piero and Emma's granddaughter, is a self-taught perfumer trained in the same space, filled with recipe books and ancestral techniques, who brought the house into the era of niche perfumery. Silvia combines her family heritage with a dual aspiration: to honor Italian tradition while exploring a free, profound, and resolutely modern creativity. Her territory of inspiration is the Tuscan garden, a meeting place between architecture and nature, between human endeavor and the generosity of the earth. This is where the perfumes are born: the mist of the undergrowth, morning citrus fruits, childhood biscuits, evening flowers. Precise, never abstract images. Production is entirely Italian, responsible, and transparent: bottles blown by a historic glassworks powered by renewable energy, cases printed locally on recycled paper. A house of generations that still smells of Tuscany.
