Unoaerre is the most important goldsmith company in Arezzo, a city that is one of the main centers of Italian goldsmithing, along with Valenza and Vicenza.
Origin of the name Unoaerre
The name UNOAERRE owes its origin to the introduction of a law that regulated the production and trade of precious metals.[2]
This law required every Italian company producing precious metals to apply an official identification hallmark.
Gori & Zucchi was the first company to submit a request and was assigned the State hallmark "1AR". Later, in the 1950s, this hallmark was also registered as the company’s trademark.
History
Origins
Unoaerre was founded on March 15, 1926, in Arezzo by Carlo Zucchi, a craftsman and owner of a small goldsmith’s shop inherited from his father, and Leopoldo Gori, a sales representative.
The two established Gori & Zucchi, opening their first workshops in the historic center of Arezzo.
On April 2, 1934, the company was assigned the official number to be stamped on all its products, and as a goldsmith company in the province of Arezzo, it received 1AR. This code, written out in full, would later become both the trademark and the official name of the company.
