The year 1824 saw the creation of a legend, when the Marchesi family opened its pasticceria on Via Santa Maria alla Porta in Milan, at a crossroads that once signaled the entrance to ancient Roman Mediolanum. It takes something special to grow a family business over two centuries, and today Marchesi 1824 has lost none of its Milanese glamour. In 2014, the Prada Group acquired Pasticceria Marchesi from the family. While preserving the brand’s heritage, the Prada Group has expanded it to three Milan locations and an outpost in London. With delectable text and enticing imagery, this volume brings the Marchesi 1824 magic to the world.
