Gioielleria Fasano was established in 1928 on piazza Castello, in Turin, by Mario Fasano. In collaboration of his wife, Stella, he created fine objects for an elite and sophisticated clientele. The firm survived the second World War and in 1955 moved to its present location on via Roma. In 1957, their son Dario joined the firm.
