Longoni in Online Business Directory

The story of Longoni trade mark dates back to 1945, soon after the end of the Second World War, when the grandfather Alessandro Longoni (1891), Vittorio Longoni’s son, thanks to his wide experience got while working for the prestigious billiards manufacturer “F.lli Dalla Chiesa”, decided to give birth to his own Company with the support of his children. At that time Mariano Comense was a small town in Brianza, a site in Northern Italy, famous worldwide for the refined ability of its craftsmen, specialised in wood treatment. A long and hard war made Italy be a poor Country with no other resources than human intelligence potential of its population. At the beginning Alessandro, since he had not such great economic means, but only clever and tenacious, had to use machinery and instruments borrowed from other artisans. Everyday he carried the wood with his barrow, coming back to his laboratory to assemble with the utmost care all manufactured spares with the help of his wife Maria, who also worked as a postman. This was the contest where the manufacturing know-how, appreciated by many billiard lovers for more than 60 years, took its roots, and the main steps are listed here below. The activity is developed by the sons Emilio (1929), Renzo (1936) and Vittorio (1944). As very young boys they give a significant help to their father and manage to introduce new advanced technologies, which improve both quality and the diffusion of Longoni name at first in Italy then on foreign markets. The fifties see the first step of the production of professional cues, thanks to the inheritance got by top-quality Italian Companies such as Vaula, Pagliani & Provenzale and Rutigliani.
