V.M. Preziosi Firenze is a goldsmith workshop and design studio located in the center of Florence with an attached show room, established in 1989 by Valerio Salvadori and Marco Frangini. Both of the founders have managed, using enthusiasm and competence, to combine the skill of Florentine goldsmith tradition with the experimentation of technical innovation. In 1995, the workshop received first prize in the “Carlo Balducci” award, organized by the Rotary Club of Florence.
