The artisan frame manufacture in Grosseto, Tuscany knows nothing but one category of frames - top class. And what else would you expect from someone who worked together with the giants of frame building Faliero Masi and Giuseppe Pelà?
His expertise and relentless quality-oriented craftsmanship found him fame and fans all around the globe, as did his beautifully executed frames.

Here is one of his legends, a Tommasini Prestige from the 1990s. As on any Tommasini frame you will find cutouts and pantographs aplenty.
