Luxardo was founded in 1821 on the Dalmation coast (now part of the republic of Croatia) by Girolamo Luxardo and wife Maria Canevari. The second world war saw the distillerie almost completely destroyed and had taken the life of Piero Luxardo. Giorgio Luxardo took over the company, what was left of it, with courage and vision he rebuilt the distillery in the Veneto region where it still is today. The plant in Torreglia (Padua) has doubled its size since 2006 and the firm is now run by the Luxardo 6th generation.
