the history of minotticucine began in valpolicella, near verona, in italy. for the first twenty years the activity of the company, that was founded by adriano minotti, was devoted to the production of doors, window frames and furniture. in the latest sixties, the market starts to be more specialized, that’s why the entrepreneur decides to put his production in the kitchen field. for about thirty years modern kitchens were manufactured, following the model of american kitchen. in 1999 adriano left the company management to his son alberto, who promoted a strong change of style, through an evolutionary planning path, in the highest market sector, of what we define the “mediterranean minimalism” and “essentialism”.
