Antonino De Simone
The Antonino De Simone business was established in 1830 and has passed from father to son for 170 years.

The history of the Antonino De Simone firm coincides with the history of coral working in Torre Del Greco, an area which has been famous since 1200 for coral fishing in the richest banks of Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Tunisia and Algeria. Historically, coral trade has been very important in the areas mentioned above and has had a significant impact on their culture and habits.

Mr. De Simone's main interest is to reconstruct the trade that took place since ancient times in two different directions. One being from the Mediterranean area to Central Asia, and the other being from the Mediterranean area to Northern Africa.

The main focus of the Antonino De Simone business is using unique coral pieces from various locations to produce articles such as necklaces, bracelets, and engravings.
