To commemorate the 200th anniversary of the renowned Milanese pastry shop Marchesi 1824, Assouline has teamed up with the brand to release an exquisite coffee table book that delves into the shop's rich history and legacy. Titled 'Pasticceria Marchesi: Savoring the Spirit of Milan,' the book chronicles the evolution of the pastry shop from its humble beginnings to its current iconic status.
Filled with archival photos, personal stories, and insights from Angelo Marchesi, the great-grandson of the founder, the book captures how Marchesi 1824 has become an integral part of Milan's cultural and gastronomical identity. The tome highlights not only the artistry behind its signature sweets, like the iconic panettone and 'Torta Aurora,' but also the shop's deep roots in family tradition and innovation.
Set to become a collector's piece, this book is available for purchase at Marchesi 1824 locations, Assouline boutiques worldwide, and through their respective e-commerce platforms, just in time to make the perfect holiday gift.
