In 1876 Achille Savinelli Sr. opened one of the first pipe shops in the world exclusively selling smoking accessories and pipes in the city centre of Milan. His two brothers followed him soon afterwards with a similar shop in Genoa. Both shops were successful and were quickly known because of their good quality and perfect service. In 1920 Carlo Savinelli, son of Achille Savinelli I, ran the shop after him. He began to collaborate with some craftsmen in the Varese province, north of Milan, putting to market the first pipes branded as Savinelli. | [[File:Savinelli-long-1.jpg|thumb|400px|Many thanks to our friends at [http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/savinelli/ Savinelli]for their generous underwriting support]]In 1876 Achille Savinelli Sr. opened one of the first pipe shops in the world exclusively selling smoking accessories and pipes in the city centre of Milan.

The real Savinelli production began with Carlo’s son, Achille Savinelli Jr. He decided to leave his father’s shop and started to produce his own pipes. After the Second World-War, in 1948, Achille Jr. founded a new factory, employing about fifteen workers by 1950. The factory was based in Molina di Barasso,in the Varese province. The products were put on market under the name of Savinelli, that was adopted as its mark. | The real Savinelli production began with Carlo’s son, Achille Savinelli Jr. He decided to leave his father’s shop and started to produce his own pipes.
