Savinelli is a renowned Italian pipe manufacturer established in 1876 by Achille Savinelli in Milan, Italy. Initially, Savinelli operated a tobacco and smoking accessory shop near the iconic Piazza del Duomo. In the early 20th century, Achille’s son, Carlo, expanded the business, and by 1948, Achille Jr. founded a dedicated pipe workshop in Varese, Italy. This move marked the beginning of Savinelli’s legacy in crafting high-quality, handcrafted pipes.
Today, Savinelli is recognized globally for its exceptional craftsmanship and innovative designs. The company produces a wide range of pipes, including the prestigious Autograph series, known for their unique shapes and premium briar quality. Each Autograph pipe is meticulously handcrafted using the “shape first, drill after” method, ensuring that the briar grain contributes to the pipe’s form and presentation. Savinelli’s commitment to quality and tradition continues under the leadership of Achille Jr.’s great-grandson, Giancarlo Savinelli.
The Savinelli brand has become synonymous with Italian elegance and precision in the world of pipe smoking. Collectors and enthusiasts worldwide appreciate Savinelli pipes for their aesthetic appeal, functionality, and the rich heritage they represent.
