About Us
Our Roots are the starting point
IL FORTE was born in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, a land rich in villages, monuments, traditions, and stories passed down through time.
It is precisely by observing this Heritage that we asked ourselves:
How can we carry the places we are most attached to with us?
The answer became the heart of the IL FORTE project.
Transforming a Monument, a Symbol, or a Memory into a 925 Sterling Silver Jewelry means creating something that has not only aesthetic value, but personal value as well.
From the Rocca Ariostesca in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana to the Devil's Bridge in Borgo a Mozzano, from the Duomo of Barga to the Symbols that tell of emotions, traditions, and belonging: every charm is born from a Story you decide to compose.
Yours.

The Origins of IL FORTE Jewelry
The story of IL FORTE Jewelry stems from the experience of the Pellegrineschi family, which began in 1960 with the opening of their first jewelry store in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana.
For over sixty years, jewelry has been part of the family's history: a journey built through knowledge of materials, relationships with people, and the awareness that every piece of jewelry can hold a special meaning.
From this experience comes IL FORTE: a contemporary project that combines tradition, territory, and 925 Sterling Silver, transforming places, symbols, connections, and identity into jewelry to carry with you.
Garfagnana, the land where everything began, is the initial starting point of a story destined to recount ever-new territories.
Since 1960, we have worked with jewelry. Today, with IL FORTE, we give shape to true Stories.
925 Sterling Silver
925 Sterling Silver is at the core of the IL FORTE collections.
A precious yet authentic material, capable of enhancing even the smallest details of our jewelry.
IL FORTE charms feature burnished details, used to create depth and highlight architecture, engravings, reliefs, and details.
It is precisely through these contrasts that a monument, a symbol, or an element of the territory can transform into a small piece of jewelry without losing its identity.
