There are places that alone tell not one, but many stories.
OUR HISTORY
It’s the story of a prestigious Hotel. Built in the early 1900’s, in its glory days the Grand Hotel Radium received the most prestigious names on the Italian stage.
The reopening of Radium hotel symbolizes a new starting point
Built in the early 1900’s, in its glory days the Grand Hotel Radium received the most prestigious names on the Italian stage, between Presidents of the Italian Republic and important businessmen like Agnelli and Ferrero families, that chose this place as the perfect destination for their vacations. The high society that mattered in that period, stopped by Lurisia and Radium hotel. Then it’s time for globalization, the tourism changes, and the downfall begins... After its closing, giving back to the hotel his original prestige is the dream of Lurisia and of everyone that treasure it in their hearts and memories. Today, thanks to Marchisio family, Radium reopening symbolize a new starting point. An emblem of rebirth that celebrates the quality and excellence of Made in Italy.
It’s the story of a charming place in the Mountains. Worldwide famous for the natural properties of its thermal waters and renowned among all for its pure air.
Lurisia is located at 700 meters above sea level, protected by Mount Pigna
Lurisia is located at 700 meters of height, protected by the 1768 meters of Mount Pigna and surrounded by the marvellous Ligurian Apls. Worldwide famous for the natural properties of its water and renowned among all for its pure air. Here, the streams of sea wind meet with the alpine breeze generating a special microclimate, perfect and ideal for the aging of Cured Ham.
From the pinewood that encircle the production site, a delicate but penetrating sent gives off and spreads around in the surrounding territory. The fresh air brings with it that unmistakable fragrance of wood right inside the aging cellars, built with the original natural stones of the site, embracing and cuddling our hams during their resting period.
It’s a nice Family story. The passion for this old and prestigious profession is born from the instinct and skills of Cav. Giuseppe Marchisio.
Care and observance of the production times give a characteristic sweet and fragrant aroma and a perfect texture, so soft that the ham melts in your mouth, guaranteeing a unique quality that cannot be repeated elsewhere.
