Fazioli Pianos has been producing grand and concert grand pianos since 1981, when the company was founded by the engineer and pianist Paolo Fazioli. Passion for music, great artisanship, continuous technological research and strict material selection: these are the elements required for building a Fazioli piano. FAZIOLI refuses any industrial approach to manufacturing and pursues the objective of uncompromised quality. The factory is located in Sacile, in the Province of Pordenone (60 km Northeast of Venice) in an arca boasting an ancient and prestigious tradition in the art of woodworking
HISTORY
The history of the company is characterised by a growing number of successes: from the first international fairs to the acquisition of important dealers worldwide, from the sales to the world’s most prestigious theatres to the always closer cooperation with renowned artists who exclusively require Fazioli pianos for their concerts. Among them, we can’t avoid mentioning the great pianist Angela Hewitt and living jazz legend Herbie Hancock.
Paolo Fazioli was born in Rome in 1944, into a family of furniture makers. From a very early age he demonstrated a gift for music and a keen interest in the piano
1944
Paolo Fazioli joined the company after graduation, honing his management skills as a production planning manager first in Rome and then at the Turin factory, while at the same time developing his expertise in wood processing.
Ethics And Certification
The FAZIOLI Company has a “green” soul. Since 2011, the photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the manufacturing facilities produces one third of the factory energy needs. This brings to the saving of approximately one ton of carbon dioxide for every piano produced. Pollution emissions in all production phases are constantly checked. The wood used for building the instruments comes exclusively from certified suppliers who guarantee the respect of environmental ethics. The company is certified to the standards of the international quality certification ISO-9001.
The Piano Of The Future
Fazioli grands are found in the most prestigious concert halls worldwide, from the Sydney Opera House to Carnegie Hall. Their F308, the largest concert grand ever built, produces an unmatched fullness of sound.
Historically focused on technological, productive and creative aspects – as stated by “The Economist”, a company that 40 years ago didn’t even exist, is considered today to be a great example for its strong commitment to research, innovation and promotion of its product: a piano constantly looking to the future. Every day FAZIOLI sees new challenges as an opportunity for growth: occasions to write another chapter in that history of the piano that the company does not wish to betray, but rather to carry forward with curiosity and intelligence.
