Origins of the name
The term “L’Artisanà” derives from the name with which the artisans of the Aosta Valley historically indicated the shop in the centre of Aosta where, after the Sant’Orso Fair and during the rest of the year, they brought their production for sale. L’Artisanà was a point of reference for the artisans of the Aosta Valley .
The L’Artisanà brand was born from the strength of this identity.
