Our Story

Ottavio: A Century of Italian Craftsmanship, Born in Pizzoli

For nearly a century, Ottavio has been a symbol of Italian artistry, rooted in tradition and craftsmanship. Our journey began 99 years ago in the charming town of Pizzoli, Italy, where the first generation of our family set out to create eyewear that embodied the elegance and precision of Italian design.

A Family Legacy of Excellence

In 1925, in a modest workshop nestled in the hills of Pizzoli, Ottavio was born. Our founder, with nothing more than raw talent and an eye for beauty, began crafting eyewear that soon became synonymous with luxury and comfort. Over the decades, the business has remained in the hands of our family, passed down from generation to generation. With every frame we’ve created, we’ve honored our heritage, keeping the essence of Italian craftsmanship alive in every detail.

Celebrating 100 Years: A New Chapter Begins

As we near the celebration of our 100th anniversary, we are proud to announce the next evolution of Ottavio—our online store. After serving our loyal customers in Italy and Europe for nearly a century, we are now sharing our meticulously crafted eyewear with the world. This digital transformation is not just a new chapter but a continuation of our legacy, blending timeless tradition with modern convenience.

Every pair of Ottavio eyewear is still handcrafted and designed in Pizzoli, Italy. Our family’s commitment to excellence has never wavered, ensuring that each frame reflects the same dedication to comfort, care, and quality that has defined Ottavio for the past 99 years.

Craftsmanship Meets Innovation

As we embrace this new era, we combine our century-old techniques with modern innovation to deliver the best eyewear experience possible. From the heart of Pizzoli to homes around the world, Ottavio remains a symbol of luxury, comfort, and Italian excellence.
