Filippo Lepri & Co. Glassworks

The "Fabbrichina" was bought by Filippo Lepri in 1906.
The industrialist immediately decided to convert the window pane production plant into a classic white glass department.

On 7 February 1907, after eight months' preparation, the "Fabbrichina" reopened, providing a hundred jobs.
Filippo Lepri concentrated on modernisation, which he achieved by investing considerable sums of his own money in the 'Fabbrichina': he commissioned two furnaces, installed a dynamo for the production of electricity and, in 1909 completed the coupage system for cutting and tempering glasses.

In 1911 the "Fabbrichina" had 250 employees and was the official supplier for the State Railways and Navigation.
