His first encounter with metalworking is at the Nicelli Airport on the Lido of Venice.<\/p>\n

These are tough times: World War II, fascist discipline, material shortages\u2014there is no room for mistakes. If you brake a drill bit, the cost is deducted from your pay.<\/p>\n

At just 8 years old, he loses his mother. He would later recount how, at the age of 20 in 1945, his dinner often consisted only of dried figs.<\/p>\n

There is a hunger for redemption, fueled by a strong belief in reconstruction. Gelsomino learns all by himself numerous trades\u2014from plumbing to taxi driving, from tinning to repairing bicycles. He decides o take on a debt of 50,000 lire to purchase his first welding machine, thus beginning a lifelong dialogue with metal.<\/p>\n

His exceptional manual skills, artistic creativity, and strong work ethic make him the go-to blacksmith in the village and earn him a position of social prominence.<\/p>\n

The company, officially founded in 1958, is built\u2014and still operates\u2014on the same values established back then.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row data_bf_animate=”” bf_overlay_color=””][vc_column]

1958<\/div>

The Beginning<\/strong>
\nLet's take a step back: in 1950, Gelsomino transforms the ground floor of his home into his first workshop. In 1958, he registers with the Chamber of Commerce, officially starting his business. He becomes widely recognized as a blacksmith and window and door maker throughout the coastal area, expanding his work to the nearby islands and inland regions.
\nBy 1960, the business had grown so much that it requires the construction of a dedicated building to house a new workshop.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”48px”]

1970<\/div>

Vision<\/strong>
\nAfter finishing middle school, Giorgio decides to follow in his father\u2019s footsteps. A young man driven by an unstoppable curiosity, observational skills, and a traveler\u2019s spirit, he gradually leaves safe shores to embrace increasingly daring challenges. Investments are made in new machinery, and diverse processes are explored, such as the early adoption of stainless steel.
\nThrough Giorgio Bacciolo\u2019s vision, a small artisanal workshop is transformed into a thriving and constantly evolving business.
\nThe company\u2019s strength lies entirely in its family roots: Giorgio can always rely on the support of his mother Elvira and his sisters Cristina and Lucia.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”48px”]

1985<\/div>

Pioneering Progress<\/strong>
\nBacciolo Gelsomino e Figli Srl. is the first company in the Venetian Confartigianato network to adopt digital accounting. In 1996, investments are made in CAD software, during a period when the company is expanding its operations nationally and starting to reach the European market.
\nThe number of collaborators grows significantly, and year after year, the company solidifies its position while building a wealth of expertise that extends beyond traditional blacksmithing.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”48px”]

2000<\/div>

Milestones of Excellence<\/strong>
\nA masterpiece project: the Etruscan exhibition at Palazzo Grassi in Venice. Bacciolo Srl showcases its full potential in both quality and scale.
\nThese are the years when artisanal expertise and the ability to find technical and organizational solutions are recognized and rewarded by internationally renowned architects.
\nThe company grows stronger and starts to see the results of its hard work.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”48px”]

2004<\/div>

Expanding Horizons<\/strong>
\nThis is the year the workshop moved into a brand-new facility, purpose-built for its needs. Finally, the team can work in a suitable space, ready to begin some industrialized processes.
\nThe new workspace is significantly larger, brighter, and designed with systems and features to maximize efficiency and ensure comfort for every operation. Significant investments are made in CNC machinery to enhance production capabilities.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”48px”]

2009<\/div>

The Third Generation<\/strong>
\nThe next generation joins the company: Nicol\u00f2 Bacciolo, Giorgio\u2019s son. With determination, tenacity, and a thoughtful approach, he successfully navigates the delicate process of leadership transition, becoming a key figure for the entire organization.
\nThe third generation brings a more methodical, optimized, and digitalized approach to management and operations. Nicol\u00f2 takes on the challenge of adapting the business to a fast-paced world where there is no room for errors.
\nThe real test lies in facing the complexities of an increasingly competitive market with confidence and resilience.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”48px”]

2018<\/div>

A New Philosophy<\/strong>
\nThe arrival of Vittorio Bacciolo, Nicol\u00f2\u2019s brother, brings fresh perspectives and experiences from other industries, different from the family tradition.
\nTogether with new apprentices, guided by the experts, Vittorio initiates a shared journey of innovation and continuous change. Significant investments are made in the people who drive and bring Bacciolo Srl. to life every day.
\nProduction phases, control procedures, analysis methods, and the layout of the offices and workshop are all updated to align with this evolving vision.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”48px”]

2023<\/div>

Industry 4.0<\/strong>
\nOur company celebrates 65 years of history with a refreshed corporate image.
\nThe year 2023 marks a decisive milestone, particularly with the acquisition of a new laser cutting machine for sheets and tubular materials. This advancement enhances our sheet metal processing capabilities and, most importantly, introduces a revolutionary approach to working with tubular structures.
\nThis opens up new horizons, moving away from traditional methods and exploring endless possibilities for composition and production.
\nWe all look at these achievements not as an endpoint, but as a starting point for even greater innovation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”80px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” data_bf_animate=”” bf_overlay_color=”” css=”.vc_custom_1707472697932{background-color: #161a1d !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1707472689320{padding: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
