Pasticceria Nannini

Pasticceria Nannini is a historic Sienese pastry and coffee brand whose story is tied to the city of Siena for over a century. According to the company's own account, Guido Nannini opened the "Bar Ideale" in Siena's historic centre at the beginning of the twentieth century, and by 1919 he had added a passion for coffee roasting to his pastry craft. In 1930 the business obtained a licence as a "fabbrica di liquori e pasticceria" (liquor and pastry factory), the starting point of the confectionery activity that would make the Nannini name famous. The bar known as "Conca d'Oro" moved to via Banchi di Sopra, a short walk from Piazza del Campo, and further Nannini outlets opened in other city squares. In 1948 the company began producing panforte, ricciarelli and other typical Sienese sweets. Today the brand operates as Nannini Dolci e Caffè, selling traditional Sienese and Italian baked goods alongside its own coffee. Its best-selling products include Panforte di Siena IGP, almond ricciarelli, panpepato and almond cantucci, while its coffee range includes single-origin beans such as Brazil Cerrado Dulce and Ethiopia Djimmah Jasmine as well as classic espresso and moka blends. Products are sold through the brand's own shops in Siena, through its online store and through export channels that carry the taste of Siena and Tuscany to international markets. The company positions itself on authenticity, tradition and craftsmanship: its panforte and panpepato are described as handmade, free from milk, eggs, artificial flavourings, preservatives and colourings, and made only with almonds harvested from the almond tree rather than apricot kernels. The brand's stated aim is to innovate while remaining anchored to tradition, offering "the original taste of Siena and Tuscany" in Italy and around the world.

The history of the Nannini brand is tied to Siena for over a century. According to the company's "Chi Siamo" page, the story begins at the start of the twentieth century when Guido Nannini opened the "Bar Ideale" in the historic centre of Siena. In 1919, Guido Nannini added a passion for coffee roasting to his pastry craft, a field that was almost unknown in Italy at the time. In 1930 the company obtained the licence of "fabbrica di liquori e pasticceria" (liquor and pastry factory), from which the confectionery activity that would make the Nannini brand famous around the world began. During these years the "Conca d'Oro", the bar that accompanied generations of Sienese, moved to the heart of the city, the current via Banchi di Sopra, a short distance from Piazza del Campo. Within a few years Nannini signs found space in other city squares with the opening of new points of sale, and in 1948 the production of panforte, ricciarelli and other typical Sienese sweets was started. The brand continues to supply coffee made "a regola d'arte", balancing beans from the best origins with experience, technological evolution and professionalism. Today the Nannini brand tells a centuries-old story linked to the ability to innovate while remaining firmly anchored to tradition, offering the original taste of Siena and Tuscany in Italy and in the world.
