Padua, Luxardo Museum opens, dedicated to historic liquor brand

The Luxardo Museum, a business museum dedicated to the historic brand of liqueurs and ingredients for artisanal confectionery, as well as one of the oldest distilleries in the world, has been inaugurated just a stone’s throw from the company’s headquarters in Torreglia (Padua). The museum marks markedly another phase of development for the historic brand.

With the museum, the long family history, which celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2021, finds its ’home’ here: it is a place that invites visitors on a journey through the company, from its origins in Zadar, Dalmatia, to the Euganean Hills where the company has been based since 1947, to bring them closer to the memory of an important past and, through the stages of a growth punctuated by significant achievements, bring them up to the present by following an itinerary marked by tireless industriousness and constantly looking to the future.

“It is a strong emotion, not only for me but for the whole family,” comments Franco Luxardo, senior partner, “to finally be able to see one of our greatest dreams fulfilled. The history that was written by those who came before us is the heritage of values and teachings on which we have built what we are today and gives us the strength, every day, to walk into the future.”

Adjacent to the company’s current headquarters in Torreglia, the structure was designed and built by Studio Architetti Mar of Venice, paying special attention to the environmental context in which it is inserted, in full adaptation to nature. The project sees an external part made of COR-TEN twisted steel blades, a versatile material with extraordinary structural and aesthetic properties and extreme strength. The succession of blades returns a three-dimensional feeling of vibration on the entire front façade and, playing with light, makes it seem almost in motion.

The interior unfolds in a theory of rooms retracing in a circular fashion the milestones of the family’s long history, in a layout where there is no shortage of digital and video stations, which at the same time also gives space to the stages of production of the liqueurs that have made the Luxardo name famous throughout the world. Adjacent to the Museum is the company store, which has been completely renovated for the occasion, where the full range of Luxardo liqueurs, bitters, spirits and jams can be purchased. The Luxardo Museum can be visited by appointment Wednesday through Saturday, with free admission. For information and reservations www.museoluxardo.it
