It all began in 1974 at a place called San Miniato, in the province of Pisa, when a quilting machine ignited Gioacchino Barletta′s passion and ambition for perfection. The arrival of his wife, Rossana, with her unmistakable skills at craftwork, further fuelled the growth, exploration and reputation of the brand, which year after year became a benchmark for quality and reliability for the most prestigious high fashion brands. An important turning point came in 2010 when Trapuntificio Barletta became Ricamificio Barletta. The refinement and complexity of the quilting made using prestigious leathers and fabrics continued to evolve, leading to the creation of highly unique pieces and a significant development of our processing techniques. Two years later, in 2012, Artentica′s creativity also captivated a new generation, namely Pamela and Leonardo, the daughter and son of Gioacchino and Rossana. Together, they have created an increasingly advanced synergy between craftsmanship and a never-ending exploration of techniques, technology and machinery, pushing the boundaries of design without ever abandoning their inherent pride for the craftsmanship that remains at the heart of the company. This mingling of tradition and the future led to the opening of the new creative, functional headquarters in 2022, still at San Miniato. The new space was meticulously designed with a strong focus on environmental sustainability, making use of renewable energy sources, maximizing natural light, recycling rainwater and production waste, and implementing eco-friendly waste collection and disposal practices. Here, the new brand "Artentica Barletta" was born, the result of combining the two words, "Art" and "Authentic". The choice was deliberate, reflecting our identity and commitment to developing the latest technology and techniques with the care, artistic uniqueness and reliability of traditional craftsmanship, leading Artentica′s history of dedication, continuous evolution, research and passion into the future.
