ARTISANAL HEART, ENTREPENEURIAL SPIRIT

The Retificio Ribola Battista was born in 1946, when Battista Ribola, expert producer of fishing nets, started manufacturing and trading his articles in Monte Isola, among the fishermen of Iseo Lake.

In 1950, with the purchase of the first loom, the production capacity increased and became possible to sell nets throughout Italy.
