Restoring Beauty and Legacy through Architecture

Ancorotti Group
on April 24, 2025

The spaces of Ancorotti Group were created with the desire to tell a story, preserve its memory, and transform it into beauty.

The facilities of Ancorotti Cosmetics and Ancorotti Perfumes are the result of Marco Ermentini’s “timid restoration”, an approach that gave new voice and dignity to a building originally designed in the 1960s by Marco Zanuso, in collaboration with Renzo Piano, and left abandoned for decades.

Today, the former Olivetti plant in Crema is a cosmetics manufacturing temple, striking a balance between industrial identity and beauty.

On Tuesday, May 14, starting at 7 PM at Villa e Collezione Panza in Varese, Marco Ermentini, the mind behind “Timidina,” will be protagonist of “Visionare – Dialogues on Architecture”, curated by Fulvio Irace for the Order of Architects PPC of Varese.

A special occasion to discover the value of our factory as a milestone of our architectural heritage.
