Literature:
The firm Lunati srl was founded in 1937 by Piero and Giulio Lunati with the brand name 160AL.
During the Second World War, Lunati did not interrupt its activity: this allowed it to expand strongly with the production of unique pieces in the years following the conflict.
The production of brooches after the War was soon joined by the creation of necklaces and rings, which were very successful in the markets of Austria, Germany and Switzerland, as well as in Italy.
Lunati's production of owl brooches began in the late 1950s, inspired by transalpine production, and continued until the early 1970s.
