Ancient shop sign of the historical confectionery Pietro Romanengo fu Stefano (1780) in Via di Soziglia street in the old town, Genoa, Liguria, Italy
Since it was established by Pietro Romanengo in 1780, Romanengo’s uncompromising insistence on the highest quality ingredients and standards of excellence in hand-crafted production techniques brought the company notoriety outside the regional borders of Liguria. Indeed, Romanengo’s clients included not only prominent Genoese personalities from the highest political and economic echelons of the time, like the Doria patrician family, the Grendi shipping family and Duchess of Galliera, but also from renown national personalities like the great Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi and the Duchess of Parma. Memorable among the prestigious orders Romanengo received were those prepared for the wedding of Prince Umberto 1st to Margherita of Savoy in 1868, and ten years earlier, around 1857, on the occasion of the visit of Victor Emanuel 2nd to Savona.
