Perfected over generations The Bertazzoni family has been making high quality cookers for more than 100 years. The family descends from within the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, a great culinary centre that is world famous for its delicious pastas, parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar. Here, people love to eat, dining is a festive event and conversation includes special menus and recipes passed down through the generations. Francesco Bertazzoni first saw wood-burning cooking stoves arrive on the railway from Austria in Guastalla, his hometown. Until then, he had been an engineer making precision weighing machines; instead he decided, with his son Antonio, to make stoves just for local use. The family built their first factory in 1909. After World War I they began making cooking stoves on a much larger scale and launched a new brand name, La Germania. The first gas hob unit appeared in 1953, and soon followed by the first gas stoves that were further perfected in 1958 with the addition of an oven. Exports started in 1959, and over the following decades sales boomed. Today, La Germania is known and appreciated in 60 countries and Bertazzoni’s heirs, firmly at the head of the enterprise, have never forgotten their roots, remaining specialists in the very personal craft of cooking. In fact, each appliance is designed for people who care about cooking, combining performance and function with different styles for different tastes. E Call 17 408-150.
