WHO WE ARE

A STORY BORN IN 1919 - OVER 100 YEARS OF BUSINESS

From Giovanni, the great-grandfather, born in 1893 to Giovanni, grandson, born in 1985. 4 generations.

« Many small entrepreneurs acquire and increase the skills from their parents, I can say that I have inherited the passion for toys and model making».
A very strong tradition in model making, especially railways and an immoderate passion for one's work.

What you breathe in Artuffo, in Corso Giulio Cesare 82 in Turin, is above all enthusiasm and knowledge. And to say that there have been upheavals over time: the business was strengthened starting from the 1960s by grandparents Giuseppe and Celestina who, through work and dedication, transformed grandfather Giovanni's 'bazaar' into a shop specializing in static and dynamic modeling. 

«Model railway has always been our flagship, for this reason in 2010 we registered our trademark Artuffo Torino for the production of precision brass models with a limited edition. The Artuffo models faithfully reproduce the historic Italian three-phase trains following a three-phase production already undertaken by his grandfather Giuseppe starting in the 1980s. At the time, production came to life thanks to the collaboration with the Swiss company Lemaco».

Over time, the catalog has also been enriched by various manufacturers of static cars, petrol / electric RC cars, model aircraft, helicopters, drones, wooden boats to assemble and motor boats, plastic assembly kits.
The last big news was the opening of this e-commerce, born from the desire to maintain constant relationships with our most distant customers, whom we met exclusively at trade fairs.

« Let's say that it's hard to get bored with us!»

Every year we organize events in the store and participate in various trade fairs around Italy. If we have even partially managed to get you into our world, leave us the email and we will keep you informed of all our news!
