- In
the 1910’s Alberto Menegatti ( Amerigo’s father ) owned a
store of his mosaics, Cantagalli’s maiolica and jewellery on
Lungarno Acciaioli.
He had come back from India, where , during three years, on call
by S.E. Lord Curzon the India’s Viceroy , he restored almost all
the mosaics of the Emperor throne’s basement in the Red Fortress
in Delhi as well as many mosaics of the Tag Mahall.
In 1934 Amerigo Menegatti opened his Maiolica’s store on Via
Tornabuoni.
Since 1981 the Menegatti
store can be found at Piazza del Pesce 2R beside the Ponte Vecchio
facing the Corridoio Vasariano. The Menegatti's family still
produce his traditional maiolica objects and dinner sets. The
Menegatti's also produce Cantagalli sets and objects.
