Bonomi group: the philatelic cancellation for our 120th anniversary
On 1st July, the ceremony for the special philatelic cancellation realized together with Poste Italiane to celebrate the 120th anniversary of a group united by passion was celebrated at Rubinetterie Bresciane plant in Gussago.

At the heart of this project, there are family, people, passion, quality which together represent the essence of Bonomi Group.
