Descriptive Note Text
The Martini & Rossi company started in the mid-19th century, as a vermouth bottling plant in Pessione (Turin) – the Distilleria Nazionale di Spirito di Vino. The company was led by businessman Alessandro Martini, winemaker Luigi Rossi and accountant Teofilo Sola. In 1863, they changed the name to Martini, Sola & Cia. The Sola family sold out in 1879, and the company became known as Martini & Rossi. The company is primarily associated with the Martini brand of vermouth and with sparkling wine.
The elegant kiosk of the Martini & Rossi vermouth company was built by Impresa Quadri & Colombo and designed by Pietro Fenoglio. The pavilion is briefly described in the Guida Pratica (p.26)
