In 1912, Silvio Conforti built his first safe, drawing inspiration from his passion for the art of ironwork. This magnificent piece received the prize of the National Craftsmen Competition, the «Weil Weiss».
By using the techniques of the past in their artistic supremacy and those of the future in their industrial dimension, this work has laid the foundations of a society dedicated to excellence.
The family tradition is also so deeply rooted in his heritage that Ingegnere Leopoldo Conforti, son of the founder, created a private place called Clavis, to exhibit his personal collection of more than 700 keys and locks from Roman and Byzantine antiquity in these days. This museum pays tribute to the talent of the ironworkers who have known through the centuries to give their letters of nobility to this symbol of power with a sacred character since it accompanies the history of humanity from earth to heaven with Saint Peter and the gates of paradise.
