Who was the figurinaio
The famous "stucchini", those who created stuccos for the noble palaces of the time, began to reproduce sacred and profane statues referring to the art of the Renaissance. With the introduction of plaster in the second half of the 19th century, the work of figurine makers experienced a rapid acceleration, as this low-cost material allowed the accessible reproduction of statues, making them available for purchase by a wider public.
The Marchi company was born
Giovacchino Marchi from Lucca, after having traveled the world to sell plaster figures, founded the Marchi company.
The Cav company. Giovacchino Marchi & Figli
Giovacchino's four sons set up the Cav Giovacchino Marchi & Figli company which specializes in the production of papier-mâché nativity figures from 3 to 30 cm.
Between tradition and modernity
In the 1950s the company began to ship overseas, expanding its business and expanding into America.
In the 1960s the production of plastic nativity figures began and a branch was opened in Pietrasanta to facilitate shipments. In the Seventies, ISAS toy soldiers also became very popular and are still collector's items today. The production of accessories to accompany the nativity scene also begins, and not only that: the company has also expanded the production of objects related to home decor.
The origins of EUROMARCHI have their roots in the sixteenth century, when talented figurine makers began creating statues inspired by Renaissance art, paving the way for a tradition that continues to define our company today.
The following century saw the introduction of plaster as a key material, making high-quality statues accessible due to their affordable cost. This change transformed Italy’s artisan tradition and marked the beginning of an enduring legacy.
In the picturesque Serchio and Lima Valley, many people from Lucca undertook transatlantic voyages to sell their works of art, bringing with them centuries of craftsmanship. This pioneering spirit gave rise to “companies,” groups of artisans who moved to different cities to create and sell their works.
This extraordinary story has shaped EUROMARCHI as a company and continues to inspire our passion for art and craftsmanship.

Italian art, from sculpture to painting, is considered a world heritage site. It is to it that our sculptors, Raffaello Simonetti and Leandro Rontanini, were inspired by their creation in wax the figures of the nativity scene characterizing with the movements and expressions typical of the our culture, reviving them and decorating them with the colors of the Italian landscapes.
