Fortini® biscuits were born in a delicatessen in Forte dei Marmi in 1991.

Between 1994 and 2001 they became widespread throughout Italy thanks to word of mouth and a careful commercial policy.

In 2001, they were the first Italian artisanal biscuits to be in single pack (without adding any preservatives or flavourings). This allowed a significant increase in production, developing both the domestic and foreign markets.

During the great financial and economical crisis in 2008, the company was purchased by Dr. Giovanni Francalancia Vivanti Siebzehner.

Since 2015 – thanks in part to the entry into the company of Silvia and Riccardo (Giovanni’s children) – new flavors have been developed and, most importantly, plastic has been abandoned as the material for single pack wrapping, which have been certified “OK COMPOST INDUSTRIAL” by TÜV Austria since 2021.

Today, the company manually produces more than 2 million Fortini® biscuits per year, serving hundreds of stores throughout Italy and Europe.
