About BALLARINI

A Legacy of Italian Craftsmanship and Culinary Innovation

Grandezza in Every Meal

At BALLARINI, we believe that the heart of Italian cooking is about more than just food—it’s about cooking with passion, with heart and soul. It’s for those who relish the simplicity of fresh ingredients, who find joy in cooking, and who value meals shared with family and friends under the stars. It’s the belief that the best things in life are often the simplest, yet they are made extraordinary with a generous sprinkle of Passione.

From Rivarolo Mantovano to Kitchens Worldwide

Our story isn’t just about cookware; it’s a tale of tradition, beginning in 1889 not with a frying pan, but with a birdcage. It was Paolo Ballarini’s craftsmanship in Rivarolo Mantovano that sparked the genesis of BALLARINI. However, our Italian spirit, deeply enamored with the art of gastronomy, soon steered us towards creating something that every kitchen across the globe needed: durable, high-quality cookware that embodies the grandezza of the Cucina Italiana.

A Journey from Metal Sheets to Culinary Feats

Over 130 years and five generations, what started as a modest workshop has transformed into an international emblem of Italian culinary excellence. Our commitment? To make cooking not just easier but a joyful celebration of life. “Gioia di vivere” – the joy of living – is our constant inspiration, driving us to innovate and create cookware that turns everyday meals into moments of pure delight.

Where Every Dish Is a Passport to Italy

Our origins in Rivarolo, a village of just 2,500 souls, remain at the heart of our identity, symbolized by the town gate in our logo. From this small corner of Italy, we’ve become global ambassadors of the Cucina Italiana. Choosing BALLARINI means inviting a piece of Italy into your home, turning every meal into an Italian culinary adventure.
