Borgo Italia’s logo has seven points
to honour the seven arts that made
Florence great.
«Le Arti» was the medieval organization
comprised of all economic activities in
different cities of Tuscany.
It ranged from commerce to finance,
different crafts, particularly the sectors
of textiles and precious metals.
Borgo Italia strives to bring back the
unified spirits of the old times in
order to spread our values of style and
quality all around the world.
The center of every Italian city was
called Borgo. It was the meeting place
for the populace and the site of cultural
and commercial exchanges.
Considering our origins, Borgo Italia
aims to bring a peace of Italy into your
city. Italy is synonymous with beauty,
art, with good taste and unforgettable
flavors. Having been blessed with
a magnificent landscape, cities and
towns endowed with remarkable
works of art from past and present
generations, Italy continues to be an
inspiration of the world.

protecting employment have led us to introduce an integrated quality management and social responsibility
system conforming to the requirements of ISO 9001 and SA 8000.

Italy is where Art was born and Tuscany the place that gave birth to the most important artists. Great men,
musicians, engineers, painters, dreamers, poets such as Michelangelo, Puccini, Leonardo da Vinci, Giotto, Dante,
Galileo Galilei have shown us how genius and imagination can be works of Art.
We think that also a Jewel is a piece of Art.
The Italian history of goldsmith was born many years ago when the Etruscan, our ancestors, manufactured gold for
the very first time. These people lived in the heart of Tuscany and also in Arezzo, where they created masterpieces
using their Fartan (from the original etruscan word that means «genius, living force and creativity»). We also live
and work in Arezzo (Tuscany) and we also have genius, living force and creativity.
For this reason everyone in Fartan Group works to create precious and unique jewels, combining tradition and
innovation, thanks to the continual search of technologically innovative products, stylistically pleasant and of
excellent quality.
The positive feedback of our Customers attests the great pleasure deriving both to the sight and touch of our
Jewelry, that allow to not get tired of wearing a Fartan Group creation.
