HOW IT ALL BEGAN.
THE PIONEER
THE BRIGIDINO IS A HISTORIC SWEET OF THE PISTOIA TRADITION
Ippolito Nannini and Maria Leporatti, in-laws of Fortunato Rinati, were among the first to introduce it outside home kitchens. With a couple of rudimentary plates and the legendary recipe of Saint Brigid, they began distributing the authentic Brigidino in the town square of Lamporecchio.
THE JOURNEY BEGINS
A BICYCLE, THEN A CART, AND FINALLY A VAN.
The secret to the success of Brigidini Rinati lies in its simplicity; tasty and light, they became delightful treats to enjoy outdoors.
A TOURIST IN CREMONA
IN CREMONA, THE DISCOVERY OF NOUGAT
The desire to spread the taste of Brigidino ran parallel with the curiosity to discover new flavors and expand Rinati’s production.
THE INVENTION
AN INTUITION OR A HAPPY ACCIDENT?
Soft nougat was born from reducing the cooking time. As delicious as ever, now easier to enjoy.
SWEETNESS EVERYWHERE
INNOVATIVE MACHINES & NEW COLLABORATIONS
Brigidini Rinati, nougat, and many other sweets arrived in numerous squares across Tuscany and Italy, quickly becoming a new confectionery tradition, even sought after in large distribution.
TODAY & TOMORROW
TODAY, RINATI SWEETS ARE THE STARS OF VILLAGE FESTIVALS
The scent of Brigidini has become the aroma of fairs and community. But for a community to thrive, it must include all its people, and that is Rinati’s mission: to develop new recipes and versions that cater to everyone’s tastes and needs, including the environment.
