In 1989, Alessi acquired the company PIAZZA BATTISTA, one of the oldest, traditional woodturning workshops in the Strona Valley on Lake Orta. Alberto Alessi named his label TWERGI and commissioned Milton Glaser for the corporate identity and some of the most renowned designers for the product designs. The aim was to bring traditional woodworking techniques into the modern era.
