History
It was founded on March 15, 1926 by Leopoldo Gori and Carlo Zucchi, the two "fathers" of the first goldsmith company in the city of Arezzo, which had the original idea to apply industrial methodologies to the goldsmith’s art, keeping at minimum the cost of work on metal. The name UnoAErre comes from 1AR, the identification mark indicated on the punch affixed to products, assigned to the first goldsmith company of Arezzo (AR).
In the sixties production reached the highest levels. The UnoAErre gave work to more than 1200 employees.
It began a reduction of its workforce in the early 70. Today employees are under 500 units. The company passed from the hands of families Gori-Zucchi to Morgenf Enfield (Deutsche Bank Group) in the mid 90, was regained by Zucchi family with the help of a group of banks. The last decade has been one of the most troubled in the history of the Company: in recent months the turning point with the draft moving to a new factory, accompanied by the implementation of an industrial revival.

Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
