The Cereria Migone waxworks was founded in 1866 by Eugenio Migone and has been handed down from father to son for five generations. Today it is a leader in the production of candles for churches and over the years it has developed its production and manufacturing processes in step with the latest technology in order to satisfy all market demands.
At the beginning of the 1900's it was Italy's exclusive manufacturer of "Candor" soap powder and solid "FULGOR".
The factory was requisitioned by the German army during the Second World War and forced to produce margarine and lard for Germany. The manufacturing plant was originally situated in an old quarter of Florence near to the Arno River but during the flooding of '66 it was submerged under 3 m. of water and this accelerated the owners' decision to relocate to their present base in Scandicci. At the beginning of a challenging new millennium the company has decided to renew its business commitment with a new production centre. continued>>>
