Our History

Montenovi s.r.l. starts its activity in 1870 with Pietro Montenovi, its founder, and it is a company linked to a familiar tradition, on one hand, and to a professional tradition, on the other hand. It is a company which doesn’t renounce to be in line with the times, always evaluating the use of new materials, technologies and systems for the packaging, transport and the movement of works of art. Montenovi s.r.l. guarantees a high professional service either in Italy or in foreign markets, highlighting the choice to serve institutional clients and exhibitions sponsored by the “Ministero per I Beni e le Attività Culturali”.

Nevertheless, Montenovi respects the highest qualitative standards imposed by the Italian institutions and the international illustrious ones, too.

Montenovi s.r.l. has collaborated with ICR, the Central Institute for the Renovation, for the study and the realization of new kinds of technologies for the packaging, thanks to the use of composite materials, not applied in the field of the works of art protection and movement.
