Calegaro: in Bresseo di Teolo, an excellence in silverware.

Luigi Calegaro opened the eponymous shop in 1921, becoming the fourth silversmith in Padua with the 4PD brand. In the years around the post-war period, the production of handcrafted items grew rapidly to the highest standards of quality. The second generation, led by his son Francesco, helped solidify the Calegaro brand worldwide.

To this day, the company is a solid representation of Made in Italy and its excellence and elegance in the creation of luxury silverware, jewelry, tableware, cutlery, and design objects.

Its brand has contributed to the evolution of taste, habits, traditions, and creative fashions, collaborating with major international houses such as Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, Hermès, Buccellati and many others. On October 25, 2019, the new exhibition space “1921 Spazio Calegaro 2021” was inaugurated inside Villa Calegaro in Teolo, the company’s main headquarters, available by appointment.

This space presents itself as the museum of jewelry and tableware that tells a century of stories of silver and silversmiths, of artifacts and production processes, and of the long tradition embodied by the Calegaro family.
