Founded in Brebbia in 1945

A True Italian story

Saponificio Varesino was established in 1945 by Dante Bardelli in the small town of Brebbia (Varese) near the shores of Lago Maggiore in northern Italy.

During World War II many common items such as soap were very scarce, so Bardelli perfected a way to make soap using the properties of the natural ingredients around him to enhance their effectiveness. After the war, with the help of his wife, he started producing soap in his own home and Saponificio Varesino was born.
