OUR FOUNDER

VINCENZO SANTORO

The founder of Martesana has always been recognized at the peak of Italian haute patisserie and is the point of reference for all leavened products and for traditional patisserie. His yeast starter, treated like a baby, is one of the most historic in the whole of Milan with over 50 years of life.

A Historic Shop since 1966, for more than fifty years Martesana has been writing the history of traditional Italian patisserie thanks to the extremely high quality of its products and the careful selection of excellent raw materials used at every stage of processing, from the dough to the fillings and decorations.

The Panettone, Veneziana and Colomba are the most iconic creations, plus fresh patisserie such as layered cakes and mignon pastries, artisan pralines, hand-sculpted biscuits, double-yeast croissants and a reinterpretation of two classics of the traditional Italian morning: the Maritozzo of Rome and the Pasticciotto of Salento.

Alongside its production of sweets, Martesana is also well known for its savouries, with which in 2018 it won the award as the Finest Savoury Patisserie of Italy from Gambero Rosso.
