Locatelli

The Locatelli company was founded in 1862 by Giuseppe Locatelli, who decided to initiate a modernisation of infrastructure and production techniques. For several decades, the Locatelli company dominated the salt market in the region, creating a network of national and international customers thanks to their exceptional product defined as the purest salt in Italy, The Locatelli company’s salt pans in Volterra represent not only an important economic resource for the region, but also a historical and cultural heritage, testifying to the thousand-year-old tradition of sea salt production in Tuscany.
